Checkbox

python3-checkbox split

Registered by Sylvain Pineau

python3-checkbox provides both checkbox core and a collection of parsers/helpers/lib modules that are used by plainbox-providers scripts. Basically we don’t need/want the (old) checkbox-core in the package that we’ll soon ask to include in universe.

Work Items

Work items:
[sylvain-pineau] Remove the unused filter_packages script: DONE
[sylvain-pineau] Decide the name of the support package: DONE
[sylvain-pineau] Decide if we're freezing the corresponding code in checkbox-old to start with a fresh copy of support modules: DONE
[sylvain-pineau] Decide if scripts code still need to be part of the support package (or if they'll be better hosted by providers): DONE
[sylvain-pineau] Decide if the new package will reuse the checkbox python namespace: DONE
[sylvain-pineau] Create a new standalone package which will hold all of the support code for the provider scripts: DONE
Prepare a dedicated package providing the device parser for HEXR: TODO
