Hello and happy new year;
:-) Happy new year to you too, and everyone else!
I've recently been doing some work on the appearance of the html
interface. It is ~generally~ looking quite good now I think. Also
implemented recently is "change password" functionality; again in API as
well as browser interface.
Finally, I have spent some time on automated testing. Because some of
this is 'integration testing', the automated testing will require a
specifically named Postgres database setup on the build host in order to
function. I have documented this at "4.2.1" [1].
Hopefully this all makes sense; let me know if you need any help.
cheers.

Thanks for the update! The progress is much appreciated. After my
initial look into setting up your application, I have not yet found the
time to explore it further! That was also without giving it a test
repository... I don't know how much of it I even saw.
What about the plan to make an installation available at a real server
somewhere? Has anyone looked into that?
On the HaikuDepot side of things, there is still a lot of work left. I
think handling JSON would be easy enough. But there needs to be a
caching layer, since some of the data that will come from the web-app
are needed for populating the initial list view with all the packages
(icons, rating average), it would be to slow to pull that from the
server each time before showing the list.
Occasionally, I have been working on improving the new text framework to
support editing. Don't know if that is a smart way to spend my time or
not, it's just what I found interesting right now... but I should
probably investigate the server communication more. Mostly, I am waiting
with that until the web app is available from a permanent address somewhere.
Best regards,
-Stephan
