Re: Working on a graphical installer

Hi everyone, I've taken the quiet days around christmas as an excuse to do some spare time hacking around Baserock. I had a couple of projects in mind and decided to do something graphical again for a change: an installer for Baserock. Here is a very early screenshot of the intro page: http://users.xfce.org/~jannis/screenshots/baserock-installer-2012-12-23-0... The current concept, plans and of course the code can be viewed here: https://github.com/jannis/baserock-installer It does everything up to (including) downloading all files for a release but it doesn't set up VMs yet. So, yes, the hard parts are still missing. Anyhow, I am quite pleased so far. I even manged to re-use some of my first ever open source code from 2006 (a threaded downloader with batch processing, cancellation and signal support)! ;) I'm planning on adding support for creating/updating VirtualBox machines tomorrow (looking at the clock, what I mean is later today). libvirt, QEMU and others might follow but for that I will most likely need contributors. What do you think? Any other ideas on what the installer should or could do and how it should or could do it? - Jannis -- Jannis Pohlmann Senior Software Developer Codethink Limited http://codethink.co.uk _______________________________________________ baserock-dev mailing list baserock-dev(a)baserock.org http://vlists.pepperfish.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/baserock-dev-basero...
