In this blog, I am going to summarize my work till now. As the mid-term evaluation is going on this week, it would be better to have a look at the work done so far and task that are still left and what i have planned to do in coming days.
As per my proposal, I divided the whole project into 5 major tasks.
1. Query building for database
It involves the following tasks:
- Setting up summershum database and enabled shumgrepper to query from it.
- Designed basic layout and defined directory structure of the app.
- Creation of end-points to display files information by particular sha1sum, sha256sum, md5sum and tarsum.
2. Web – API Wrapper of the app
It involves:
- JSON API: It returns json content if the request is made in json or request header is “application/json”.
- Compare Packages: It returns filenames which are different in packages being compared.
- File of a package: returns filenames of a package.
To do:
- GPL License: find GPL license present in packages.
3. Web front-end
It involves improving the GUI of the app:
- Created a index bar that appears on top of every page.
- Added a function to summershum to list the names of all the packages. /packages endpoint will list all the package names which when clicked results into package information.
- Added docs for API.
To do:
- Design front-page of the app. A text box can be added to make /sha1sum, /sha256sum, /tarsum, /md5sum simpler.
- Improvements in the API doc.
- Separation of API and UI.
- Improvement in GUI to display filenames for /compare and /packages/{packages}/filenames.
- Further, it requires other improvements in UI.
4. Deployment
I am currently working on its deployment. I hope it will be completed within next 2 days.
5. Integration and Testing
To do:
- Create unit-test for the app.
- Integration of the app. (if time permits)
