= HomedirAddonManager = Debian contains [[:DebPkg:vim-addon-manager]], a tool that installs vim addons into the home directories of individual users by placing the correct symlinks into the appropriate location in the user's homedir.
This concept is useful for more applications than just Vim, e.g. Emacs, Awesome Window Manager, ZSH, Eclipse, Firefox, Thunderbird, ... The task would be to create a toolset like Vim-addon-manager that can be used for any of the named applications. A plugin package for such an application would thus need to specify the following: * What application am I for (ZSH, Firefox, Eclipse, ...) What * symlinks need to be placed where to make this plugin available for a user? * '''Confirmed Mentor''': n.n. (maybe [[ThomasKoch]] * '''How to contact the mentor:''' (mail, IRC, etc) * '''Confirmed co-mentors:''' * '''Deliverables of the project''': A tool and associated documentation as described * '''Desirable skills''': Shell scripting, Debian packaging * '''What the student will learn:''' Debian packaging Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro _______________________________________________ Soc-coordination mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
