[Soc-coordination] Status Report for Elektra Configuration Merge

[Ian Donnelly]

Hi Everyone,

This week has been very busy for me and I am sure all of you too. As I
mentioned last week, we recently released a new version of Elektra, 0.8.7,
which includes code to merge KeySets (a major part of my GSoC project). I
wrote a blog post about this new feature that explains how to use it. Check
out the post here: http://community.libelektra.org/wp/?p=137

Also, my line plug-in has gotten merged into the upstream Elektra source
code, I wrote a big post about this plug-in, which is very useful for my
GSoC conffile merge, on the blog here:
http://community.libelektra.org/wp/?p=116

Additionally, I used my experience writing this plug-in to write a tutorial
on how to write a storage plug-in for Elektra. We really need developers to
help us write new plug-ins as they are essential for Elektra to work.
Please read my full tutorial here:

There has also been a lot of work on the actual project, we now have a
working demo of our project and I am working on more posts explaining how
it all works and how package maintainers can taker advantage of our
automatic merging very easily. Those will all be done this week and I hope
you enjoy them!

Sincerely,
Ian S. Donnelly
