Update diaspora debian packaging progressbar

PP Pirate Praveen Public Seen by 12

We have a progressbar showing current status of diaspora packaging at
http://people.debian.org/~praveen/diasbar/

We'd like to have one more status "Matching" if the version present in
debian is the same as version required by diaspora.

This check is already done in gemdeps and we need to update the
progressbar to parse the new dot file format.

Let me know if you'd like to volunteer for this task.

Sources:

https://gitorious.org/debian-diaspora/gemdeps is written in ruby

https://gitorious.org/debian-diaspora/progressbar is written in python

If you are online come to #debian-diaspora on irc.oftc.net, if you are new to irc, then use http://webchat.oftc.net

gemdeps creates a dot file, see
http://people.debian.org/~boutil/diaspora/ for sample dot files

and progressbar reads this dot file and creates an html page. Earlier
version of the dot file did not check if deb version is uptodate,
newer version check this, so we need to update the progressbar python
code to read the new dot file and create html.

Steps:

  1. Create a gitorious.org account if you don't already have one.
  2. Clone progressbar repo
  3. Update code
  4. Send merge request.

Sorry for all the confusion.I have submitted a new patch.

I would suggest adding a gitignore file ignoring the following:

*.dot
index.html

@santoshkumar , @jacksonisaac , please test the merge request by @rajeevs https://gitorious.org/debian-diaspora/progressbar/merge_requests/1

If both of you can confirm it is working, jackson, please merge the code https://gitorious.org/debian-diaspora/progressbar/merge_requests/1#mr-help and then close the request.

@jacksonisaac you need to add your ssh key to gitorious. @rajeevs , you are not supposed to change the dot file directly. It is output from gemdeps.

i did not find anything wrong.and the dot file is not part of the gitorious repository.Can you pin point on what exactly is wrong?

@rajeevs , you cannot change the dot file directly. It is an output file, so you changing dot file is wrong. See the code, dot file is downloaded in diasbar.cron. You have to update the html with new status with existing dot files.
