[opensuse-project] [GSoC] [Cool Live Flash] Weekly report
Hello everyone! This week was full of breakthroughs, and full of challenges. I have written the scripts that will generate the dialog where you can choose which image you want to boot. I have written the script for the next step, that actually does the work, automagically. We also had continous mail exchange and chats with my mentor. He helped me out with debugging and stuff, like always. Okay I don't nag him 0-24, but each time we talk I learn a lot, and his expertise got me out of the worst debug sessions as well. (The documentation and helpful messages are quite scarce with these tools. Most of them even lack verbose output and logging. - just .....why?) Besides those, I have managed to create the necessary Dracut modules (to get our files included - what we need), in the Dracut image file. So everything is going smooth. Of course, I break through a barrier, another gets in the way. But that makes it all fun. (Yeah, I know, there is a deadline. So I will keep that having fun part short.) Now I'm working on a reliable final step solution that works best (e.g.: when you switch to the system you want to fire up). Again, this requires the very same steps. Write, test, test, write, test, test, write. Rinse and repeat. I already have a load of scripts, just to shave off testing time. Once the mount is done - the current step, next is automation, with booting on a real drive. So in short: real life. And of course, further testing, improvements. There is a lot to do, even if I sum it up in one or two lines, so no worries, I won't die from boredom, that's for sure. :) (But I sure do enjoy the task, so it's a win-win for me.)
