Vincent’s Status Report — #15 of 17

[Vincent Dumont <dumontv7 () gmail com>]

Hello devs,

This week, most of my work was about finishing some previous work, testing my commits and some investigation about 
documentation. I have started preparing for the last week of GSOC but this week I will try to finish all the work I 
have already started. I think my timing is good so I will be able to correct some issues before next week. Feel free to 
give feedback.

Accomplishments:
•       Finished PR #484 and sent the commit to the SVN trunk, thanks to Dan's explanations
•       Worked on "Make Ncat avoid linking with libpcap even when it's available" (PR #489) — Nsock can now be built in 
a seperate directory
•       Corrected a bad fix for silencing compiler warning (overloaded functions), which is now fixed for good (PR 
#479) and has been sent to the SVN trunk
•       Finalized, tested, sent and tested again the designed DMG creator script on Mac, to which I added a checker 
script to be sure everything went fine. The final DMG has now the instructionnal background and a new MPKG (installer 
on Mac OS) background (PR #454)
•       Suggested a solution to Dan about PR #471 — I need to do some more work on it, but we now have a reasonable 
solution, respecting the code's logic 
•       Opened a new PR (#491) to hide makefile.dep inclusion warnings
•       Began lurking the documentation to find out what chapters will need modifications

Priorities:
•       Finish PR #471
•       Continue PR #489 to support separate build directories for the whole source tree (which would lead to a big 
speedup in build times)
•       Find a workaround to issue #472
•       Work on issue #447
•       Send a maximum of PRs during the week, to be sure I will not be short on time completing GSOC

Thanks to Dan for his guidance and work!

Cheers, 
Vincent Dumont
