IMO, PkgDB is much better choice to be used as the base of package webui, as its already integrates with Koji, and Bodhi. Revamp the UI, add features like comments, pybugzilla, etc. Then, provide an interface for communicating with MyFedora (json or something). > In what way the idea of Package WebUI can be relate to GSoC? > > As far as I can see the idea of WebInstall is similar? > Is WebInstall project still relevant to GSoC or MyFedora will cope with > its functions? WebInstall will require client side adjustments such as a handler for url webinstall://path/to/package/metadata.xml or maybe extension based handler for a metadata file named, for example, mysoftware.webinstall. The client tool then will call packagekit or other necessary thing to get the software installed. (Hey , anybody applied for this Idea yet? :P ) MyFedora/PackageWebUI will be a good place to place the links to the metadata. Webinstall is a different sofware, but if PackageWebUI willing to provide metadatas, they both can work together greatly as one way for users to find Fedora softwares. ======================== Just adding a bit details about my idea for PkgWebUI: I am interested of a place where users can easily find details about a software in Fedora repository, access bug reports related to the packages, and communicate with other users of the software. The detail section be somewhat like Fedora Daily Package's informations, and the rest similar to Wine's AppDB. I would love if WebInstall URLS are integrated together with PackageWebUI to allow users to install packages by clicking a link at the site. I am familiar with Plone, Django, a bit of TurboGears, and the usual web development stack (HTML/CSS/PHP and stuff). A python addict myself, and would love to develop something pythonic although my skills are more in the sysadmin side. As a Fedora ambassador, I see the PackageWebUI can be a good place to encourage user involvement to the community (though the comment section will require some idea to make it not over-loading after a lot of people commented - 1 thread comment section sounds scary for long term). a little unrelated to this thread (but related to GSOC), I am familar with Debarashi's implementation of Opyum, (used the procedures manually through shell commands [tar,cp,system-cdinstall-helper,etc], not comfortable with opyum's GUI) .. and would also like it to be in PackageKit .. however, C turns me off .. > -- > Best regards.
