These 2 weeks were spent on the parser and the reporter. During this time, I\u2019ve added many features to it, but there are still much more things left to be done. Due to limited time of GSoC I will implement additional features after the program end.<\/p>\n
Here is a list of features that were implemented so far:<\/p>\n
And here are the errors that I plan to add support for in the future:<\/p>\n
I also had a good idea about how to go about testing\u00a0 While trying to find ways to generate errors in Portage I realized how hard it is to break Portage intentionally, and it\u2019s almost impossible without deliberately creating faulty ebuilds and USE flags, which of course is a good thing!<\/p>\n So far I only managed to test out \u2018blocked package\u2019 error, here is how it was done:<\/p>\n What sounds like a couple simple steps actually took me about 2 days to figure out\u2026 Although challenging, it actually is very fun to find ways to break things \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Week 8 will be dedicated to writing code to send reports via emails and IRC chats. But before that, I need to do some more work to improve integration between the updater, parser and reporter.<\/p>\n Ideally, I also need to spend some more time on error catching and improving overall stability of\u00a0 Progress on Weeks 6 + 7 These 2 weeks were spent on the parser and the reporter.

Basically, I can set up a CI\/CD pipeline that will detect newly published stage3 Docker containers, and whenever there a new container is detected – run gentoo_update<\/code>\u00a0on it and check the output. Eventually, it will run into some errors that I will then use to improve\u00a0gentoo_update<\/code>. Pipeline itself can be set up with Jenkins, for example. This idea is a bit out of scope of my proposal, so I will work on it after GSoC \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\nChallenges<\/h3>\n
