Aptitude History Tracking progress report, Week 4

with one comment

These last two weeks I could not work as much as I would like due to a number of drawbacks that have arisen in my university, which have led to cancellation of the semester, and putting at risk the lives of several students. It all started about two months ago when was published a recording of a conversation between the Principal of the university and a paramilitary. In which the paramilitary demanded the names of students, workers and teachers who do not agree with the national government to carrying out a “gun plan”.
The recording came to the public in the process of selecting of a new Principal. To which the current Principal presented to evaluate their re-election and he was elected.

Given this, the students have expressed in various ways against his re-election. Protests which the only way out that saw the direction of the university was the cancellation of the semester, extent to which students lost all the money and time invested. With the cancellation of the semester, 19 students took the main cathedral of the city and began a hunger strike and a large part establishes safeguards against the university for denying the right to education.

Yesterday the Board of Governors of the university decided to reverse the agreement that canceled the semester, but still maintains the Principal in his post, which is no solution to the crisis at the university.

I think I deviate slightly from the topic, I just wanted you to know a little the problems of the university, which is a reflection in small scale of the country, where the dictator of the moment simply to disqualify the opposition branded they as terrorist and sent to silence by force and not arguing as should be.

Since the previous report I had a more fluid communication with Daniel, in large part by the access to the repository. Most of these two weeks I have spent the time polishing the code that I made the first two weeks. Now I get the most information from the changes in dpkg and aptitude states, but recently I have been a problem presented in the order in which these data should be collected when I remove a global variable that was clearly a sign of bad programming, I am focused on circumventing this problem before proceeding. Another important change was the creation of a class to manage the database and the text logs.

In the downtime I have been playing around with the graphical interface “history-tracking/src/gtk /”: I have Added a tab in main_info_notebook to see the history of the selected package historyview class was implemented to initialize the tab to see the history. To view the history using gtktreeview. Only need to define which information we want to see for each change.

For the next weeks I hope to start working on the undo and redo systems.
