<div dir="ltr">Hi<div><br></div><div>I have written two introductory posts on my blog [0] on Blogger. I thought I shared the link to it in the proposal but no, I didn't. The one is just when the results got announced and other about my take on the macports-base video. </div><div><br></div><div>About the project, so the `restore`, `snapshot` and `migrate` actions are going to the action_array list [1]. While the flow was made clear in the proposal, I think the first step should be to decide on an exhaustive list of arguments/flags these 3 actions can possibly take. This will help to design the procedures. </div><div><br></div><div>Also, should we keep the code in a different Tcl script migrate.tcl like `reclaim`? and code dealing with the database is going to be in C in cregistry's sql.c [2], right? (like Tcl calling registry2.0 code currently?) </div><div> </div><div>All this is still trivial. What worries me most is the testing part. I'm not sure Brad, how are we going to take on the testing phase. We can virtually change specifications to see if the script works or compare the two docker images? Also, it needs a set of tests that should include all combinations of variants, requested-activate-deactivate scenarios. This is one big task to be considered. </div><div><br></div><div>Guide me to the first step, thanks. It'd be great if you want to have a FaceTime or Skype. I think after 0900 (UTC -8) would suit you best?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[0]: <a href="http://umeshsingla.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">http://umeshsingla.<wbr>blogspot.in/</a></div><div>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/master/src/port/port.tcl#L4264" target="_blank">https://github.com/macpor<wbr>ts/macports-base/blob/master/<wbr>src/port/port.tcl#L4264</a></div><div>[2]: <a href="https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/master/src/cregistry/sql.c" target="_blank">https://github.com/macpor<wbr>ts/macports-base/blob/master/<wbr>src/cregistry/sql.c</a></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 9:07 PM, Bradley Giesbrecht <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pixilla@macports.org" target="_blank">pixilla@macports.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">> On May 18, 2017, at 11:07 AM, Jackson Isaac <<a href="mailto:ijackson@macports.org">ijackson@macports.org</a>> wrote:<br>

Hi Umesh,<br>
<br>
Do you have a blog address you are ready to share?<br>
Have you watched the video [1] Jackson referenced?<br>
Do you have any questions about MacPorts base, this project or MacPorts in general?<br>
<br>
Looking forward to hearing from you.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Bradley Giesbrecht (pixilla)<br>
