Hi there :)
Current progress
convert tails-greeter to old-style pygtk to remove pygi dependecy: [in progress]
re-test converted version with squeeze: [done, test failed]
check if current localization handling is suitable for tails-greeter: [postponed]
make plans for next week: [done]
Problems
proper procedure for version increase
errors with dbus after conversion
dpkg-divert required for proper testing
need easy way to run python syntax quick check on entire file
Near-future plans
add dpkg-divert functionality to .deb
fix errors found after conversion
run external (placeholder) program with adequate parameters on language change
(locale generation for example)
alter python code with dummy 'admin password requestor'
add tails-greeter.deb into tails.git (main) repo
add note that it's dangerous to install tails-greeter.deb :)
cheers,
Max.
