Subject: [Ginger-dev-list] [RFC] Inheriting Kimchi's Host tab
Date: Tue, Aug 11, 2015 8:13 PM
Hi all,
As we have agreed on Kimchi mailing list, the Ginger community will be
responsible for the Host tab (today part of Kimchi) in a way of 2
different plugins: ginger-basic and ginger.
ginger-basic will provide host basic information, host statistics and
debug reports support. And among the current Ginger features, it will
also provide software updates and repositories management.
For Kimchi perspective, we need to transform part of the Host tab into
the ginger-basic plugin and add it as a Kimchi dependency.
To move the discussion as soon as possible to Ginger community, my
suggestion is to move the entire Host tab into ginger-basic plugin in
the first moment.
Once we do that, we can move software update and repositories management
APIs to Ginger.
Here is my proposal:
1) Create ginger-basic plugin which will launch the Host tab as it is today.
It will be done on Kimchi community.
2) Move software update and repositories management *APIs* from
ginger-basic to ginger.
Only the API will be updated. The UI will keep the same.
3) Add ginger-basic as a Ginger dependency.
In this step, Ginger standalone will launch 2 tabs: Host and
Administration.
All that can be done by the end of September.
Once we have the new UI widgets done, Samuel will start working on
merging those 2 tabs into one as we just need the update how UI is built.
The idea is to release Ginger as one single Host tab in the December
release - in addition to wok and Kimchi as a plugin.
Let me know what you think about it.
Regards,
Aline Manera
