Google Summer of Code 2011

Once again, this year I participated in the Google Summer of Code as a mentor for Gentoo. The project was called Autodep and its aim was to produce a tool to check the DEPEND and RDEPEND of ebuilds automatically, featuring things like blocking access to non-dependancy files from packages.

It turned out quite well and the student, Alexander Bersenev, worked really hard to finish the project. He is also using one of the clusters he has access to in his university to check the whole portage tree for packages missing dependencies. Quite cool, isn't it?.

You can find the project code Here and the documentation Here

BTW, to create the GuideXML document for this project, I wrote a plugin for Sphinx that throws formatted GuideXML document from the docs. You can find it in my GitHub
