Overview
The Stable Hybrid Release (SHR) is intended to be a combination of the FSO, some of the 2007.2 GTK software, and the ASU that provides all of the functionality of the 2007.2 software, but with the stability of the FSO and the new GUI toolkits provided by the ASU. It will probably be based on an ASU build, with the FSO software and GTK end-user apps added.
(We're not married to the idea of using the GTK apps, but they already exist and are more-or-less debugged at least on the UI side. If someone knows of a more stable and/or usable app that's appropriate for the OM, let us know by dropping a comment on the Talk tab of this page.)
First steps
The first pass at making the GTK software use the FSO will involve just creating a gsmd workalike that sends commands to the ophoned dbus api from FSO. mickeyterm is an example of another program that lets you send GSM commands through ophoned.
We want to have a build that is stable, so we'll need some standard way of identifying the latest stable pieces of all the different software in the SHR, as well as a way to identify previous released versions of the SHR.
Interest
Here's a list of people who've expressed an interest in working on the SHR:
- wurp2
- _ferric
Tasks & status
Here's a list of the tasks for the SHR:
Task | Status | Owner | Helping out | Last update |
Run the build host | Needs owner! | Put your name here! | Nobody yet | 2008-07-03 |
GSMD to ophoned adapter | Not started | [[User:Wurp][Wurp]] | Nobody yet | 2008-07-03 |
Statuses:
- Needs owner! - someone needs to take responsibility for this task
- Not started - someone has taken responsibility, but hasn't done anything yet...
- Started - someone has started work, but there is nothing usable yet
- Alpha - it might work, maybe
- Beta - it probably works most of the time
- Maintained - a stable release is out there, working on oddball bugs & new features
- Done - a stable release is out there, no activity on this task now
