This week is my last for SoC this summer, so unless I do something groundbreaking tomorrow, this will be my last status report. I was hoping to be able to show off a working server with Ingenue running on it by this time, but I'm still waiting for all the difficulties with getting a root-access se

I forgot to post a status report since last Friday was pretty hectic. In short form, last week I: -Finished the logging mechanisms so that the logs will track things besides just command execution. -Wrote a command-line wrapper in C to an ISO manipulation library to make things far more efficient a

This week has been much slower with the image builder project. I've wrinkled out several issues and generally worked on usability and other frontend aspects. The backend (and frontend) currently handle building a complete tar/gz image and letting the user download it with the user's choice of pro

This is my first weekly status report, so I'll introduce my project a little. I'm building a web-based application in PHP (with MySQL) that will allow the user to build a customized image of a linux installation. The intent is to support various different architectures/profiles, using the binary
