Automates kernel revisions and rolling

roller

Roller provides a pythonic Kernel object for configuring and compiling kernels, and a streamlined command line tool for using that object

Usage

./roller.py

Options

* -h, --help: show the help text
* --version: show the version
* -v, --verbose: increase verbosity, which includes using progress bars for downloading/extracting
* -k, --kernel: pick the version you want to build. (defaults to latest stable)
* -r, --revision: set new revision to create
* -c, --config: kernel config file to get the initial configuration from (defaults to current running version)
    * "current", which is the default, will use /proc/config.gz
    * "none" will base configuration on `make allnoconfig` rather than using current or a saved config file
* -o, --output: Where to save new config, "none" to skip saving
* -m, --modify: Launch a menuconfig UI to allow customization of the kernel config
* -s, --skip-install: don't install kernel to /boot
* -p, --patch: Open a shell before configuration to allow patching the kernel tree
* -b, --build-dir: Set path to use for downloading/extracting kernel (defaults to /tmp)

Installation

pip install roller

roller's Issues

unit tests

progress bar

downloading / extracting should have some indication of progress

making should have some indication of continued action.

Better test coverage

Support `make allnoconfig`

I don't necessarily want a kernel with my current configuration nor do I want to use the configuration from your repository, is it possible for you to add a command line param that just skips adding a config from /proc/config.gz or from your repo and just gets one by running "make allnoconfig"?

Thanks!

fix progress bar for rc download

pep8checking during build

Should support patching before build

I'd love to use AUFS or other crazysauce, but that needs patchlove

Travis-ci

Travis YAML

https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-yaml

gpg sig / hash checking

I should probs be checking the gpg sig for kernel downloads so that I don't get a crap tarball and try to run with it

readthedocs?

Should specify version ranges on deps

Use make output for progress bar

find . -name "*.c" vs grep of line output on stdout

codeclimate post-receive hook

better docs

Set up CircleCI

Interactive helper script

Use blessings? pretty UI? Happy happy happy.

better pypi packaging

secure channel key for travis IRC

support multiple config tracks

This will likely go hand-in-hand with #5 , but I'd like to allow multiple config branches (server vs local vs xen vs blah, etc)

Support configurable name convention

Use git tags rather than _<revision> for naming

This would let version control be more version controlly

pypi badge

https://pypip.in/

Support grub2 config output

Set up codecov

Support printing config on stdout

Needs to support directory to be a real module

Set up codacy
