Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [GSoC] Weekly update for PyBOMBS and CGRAN integration

[Ravi Sharan]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the feedback.

1. I have created a new repo for the Pybombs frontend on Gitlab [1]
recently. During my weekly interaction sessions with Martin, we have
decided to make the gui-frontend installable from pybombs-cli itself.
Initially, I had plans on integrating the gui-frontend with the
pybombs, but GUI being a personal preference, it was decided to have
it as a separate project.

2. I am using a table view as demo'ed in the screencast, which has a
'Status' column that indicates whether the package is already
installed or not.

3. Currently, the pybombs' recipe manager uses a technique to handle
the prefix specific recipes (if that's what you mean by private
recipes). I am planning to include a Recipe manager dialog to the UI,
which address this need.

4. The UI definitely displays the documentation and dependencies. I
have included a 'Module Info' dialog which generate the dependencies
based on the recipe. On the documentation front, I have still not
decided whether to provide links to the module's CGRAN page or fetch
the Manifest file from each project during runtime to display the
information (handling screenshots/images in the dialog can be a
problem in the second case).
