This week was a little less productive than usual. I got the front end to be much more usable, allowing configurations to be modified by the user at will and making it possible to view the settings of a configuration. I also added a validity check on configurations before the build stage, making sure the backend won't waste time trying to build an image with packages that are no longer available, etc. I broke the backend into smaller parts just to keep things better organized and fixed various bugs that had made their way into the backend while I've been focusing on the frontend. I also added the option to set a timezone, choose udev or static-dev, and to choose from preconfigured sets of packages, such as "HTTP Servers" and "Desktop Environments". Lastly, I updated the welcome page to list popular builds, recent completed builds, and recently downloaded builds.
To do: -Continue to expand the options available for configuring the build -Extend the API used by frontend modules to also work for options universal to all modules -Add privacy options so users can choose whether to share the builds and configurations they have created In preparation for offering adding/removing init scripts, I'd appreciate if people could execute the following and email it to me, along with what arch they're running: equery belongs /etc/init.d/* Thanks.
