<h1><A NAME="out">Open unassigned Tasks</a></h1>
|
|
These are tasks that should be done, but no one is working on them currently.
|
|
If you have some programming experience and want to take a task simply contact
|
|
me or somenone on <A HREF="irc://irc.freenode.org/#cLinux">#cLinux</A>.
|
|
Those tasks, which are finished can be found on the
|
|
<A HREF="cat.html">closed assigned tasks</A> page.
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Writing the tool "<b>cinit.graph.graphic</b>" which visualizes the
|
|
dependency tree in a graphic.
|
|
<BR>It should print the service dependency hierarchy: At the
|
|
top should be the init directore (/etc/cinit/svc/init or if given on
|
|
command line: The starting profile [cprofile=home]) and then below it
|
|
should be printed the pyramide of dependency.
|
|
<BR>Output should be PNG and SVG. One should be able to switch between
|
|
PNG and SVG via command line (like -t and --type png or svg).
|
|
<li><b>porting cinit</b> - currently cinit is Linux specific:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The tempfs setting will most likely be Linux specfic (conf/*tmp*)
|
|
as the mount call is.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
One would have to change cinit
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>to use os-specific mount parameters / call and use the specfic
|
|
tempfs
|
|
</ul>
|
|
You are free to implement it and make a patch available, which
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>is either maintained outside of cinit (like the openssh guys do)
|
|
<li>or which incorporates cleanly into cinit (use conf/*, bin/* to
|
|
configure, try to avoid ugly #ifdefs)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The main parts to change in cinit would be:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>changing serv/cinit.c to allow different mount calls
|
|
<li>changing conf/*tmp* to fit to the unix you use
|
|
<li>or add a script to bin/, which sets conf/*tmp* depending on
|
|
the output of uname -s
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li><B>Writing a HOWTO</B> install, configure and use cinit.
|
|
It should be understandable by people which never touched cinit
|
|
before. The format should be anything which can be read or
|
|
converted easily
|
|
(<A HREF="http://nico.schotteli.us/papers/linux/cconfig/">cconfig</A>
|
|
variant or LaTeX for documentation?).
|
|
Or the howto should be written in the
|
|
<A HREF="http://wiki.clinux.info/index.php/Cinit">wiki</A>
|
|
(currently down, contact me in #cLinux, irc.freenode.org)
|
|
<li><B>Preparing cinit-master-configuration</B>, a clean configuration, which
|
|
may be used by a cinit-config program to extract a service to
|
|
the real configuration directory. Access should be done via
|
|
git or similar to allow different people to upload their configuration.
|
|
<li><B>Programming cinit-config</B>, a program, most likely a gui
|
|
(dialog based?), which helps people to configure cinit. Perhaps
|
|
using a/the master configuration and prompting the user to configure
|
|
a template and copy the result + needs to /etc/cinit then.
|
|
<li><B>Programming convert tools</B>, to convert other init systems
|
|
automatically to cinit (see
|
|
<A HREF="browse_source/cinit-0.1/doc/merging.other.initsystems">cinit-0.1/doc/merging.other.initsystems</A>).
