![]() ![]() More exactly, I was thinking to use a web server so that the communication protocol wouldn’t be a problem and a relational database that stores the information. In this case the communication between Muon and the server needs to be assured. In my opinion the best solution for this is to have a server side database that stores per package information about ratings and reviews. I guess that in this case a new ratings and reviews management system should be created since the sources for Kubuntu and Debian are different. Also a big aspect that is missing when dealing with Muon Discover and Muon Installer is the ratings and reviews management. After the source management, the next step would be to install new software.As it can be seen from the below pictures this is a serious problem: Apart from what is discussed above when it comes to Muon Discover and Muon Installer the first thing that needs to be solved is the source management issue.Step 8: Testing - different scenarios will be tested for every item: for example for the “Apply changes” button it should be tested the fact that it installs, removes, installs and removes packages.īelow, you can find attached the required addon with my name added to the “About Muon” window:.Step 7: Making sure everything in the interface works as expected.Step 6: Checking that updates are found and can be installed.Step 5: Checking that the status of the packages is consequent with the system.Step 3: Installing packages: installing a packages, installing multiple packages.Step 2: Solving package sources issues: make sure that packages are displayed correctly and that are ready to be installed.Step 1: Solve the differences in the graphical user interface: have all buttons, menu entries and every other aspect of the interface shown.Below you can find a step by step plan in order to have a successful project: So, as it can be seen in the above some menu entries are missing and also the toolbar cannot be shown. After a little bit of struggle, I managed to successfully build Muon on both systems: I started by building Muon on Linux Mint and on Debian to see what needs to be fixed in order to have a fully functional Muon in Debian. The first goal of the project is to get Muon in Debian, but also the project aims to improve Muon (see details below). It offers complete control over your packages with an interface that still keeps usability in mind. Project details: The Muon Package Manager is a powerful package manager aimed towards the intermediate - power-user range. Least but not least, I think that this is a great opportunity to learn new things that will help me in my future career, so this makes me even more enthusiastic about the project. I also plan to be an active developer after GSoC is over. I do not back away from difficult tasks and I am fully committed to finishing the project. Also, I must say that I consider that I have all the necessary skills in order to complete this project. ![]()
