Complete the port of flatpak to appstream from appstream-glib
a project by ldragon
Updated almost 3 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.

Project Description

Currently flatpak uses appstream-glib to parse and generate appstream files however, appstream-glib is no longer maintained and this has resulted in many features not being propagated to flatpak. There is currently 2 prs porting flatpak & flatpak-builder to appstream.

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal would be to finish the last mile and ensure that the repo's produced and 1:1 or at least close enough to complete the switch.

    pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola

    Description

    As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:

    • The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
    • The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
    • We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
    • The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.

    The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, pidfs, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.

    I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.

    Goals

    • Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
    • Most importantly: have fun.

    Port OTPClient to GTK >= 4.18 by pstivanin

    Project Description

    OTPClient is currently using GTK3 and cannot easily be ported to GTK4. Since GTK4 came out, there have been quite some big changes. Also, there are now some new deprecation that will take effect with GTK5 (and are active starting from 4.10 as warnings), so I need to think ahead and port OTPClient without using any of those deprecated features.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • fix the last 3 opened issues (https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/402, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/404, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/406) and release a new version
    • continue the rewrite from where we left last year
    • if possible, finally close this 6 years old issue: https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/123
