Hello, everyone!
<br>
<br>
I'm Gopal and my proposal for the Google Summer of Code Debian
Project "Systemd Unit Translator" was accepted recently. I have been
communicating with Mo Zhou who, I realize is also a student in
another project, pointed me to this mailing list to talk about the
specifics of the project as well as specifics of discussion. My
co-mentor is Benda Xu.
<br>
<br>
Here's a little bit about the project. In the simplest of terms,
this project could be seen as building a tool that converts syntax
from (in most cases) a single file described in INI syntax to a
shell script. Or if we were to break the parts, a systemd unit
(service, socket, timer) getting converted into an openrc equivalent
(shell script, xinetd, crond). Gradually, the other unit types will
be covered once basic functionality parity is achieved.
<br>
<br>
You can find my proposal here (<code id="direct_link_text"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://share.kayg.org/f.php?h=1W-mL7sY&d=1&k=71238a6e61">https://share.kayg.org/f.php?h=1W-mL7sY&d=1&k=71238a6e61</a></code>)
which expands on my introduction as well as my understanding of the
project. I realize that I have been rather late in my introduction
and that an apology is in order. I'm sorry for the delay. I'd like
to ask a few things though. Would this mailing list be our official
discussion channel? Do we need to decide on a time of the day for
faster replies or do we spread things out? Do I communicate with my
mentors directly or ask any questions or doubts that I may have
about the project here?
<br>
<br>
Thank you,
<br>
K Gopal Krishna
