Summer Coding 2010 student proposal Kronikarz Tool

Description
Kronikarz is a Simple and convenient program for the user.

The program will contain 2 options: 1) the main application, the most simple interface for create a backup of the working user-space

2) low background customer service (service, daemon) for create backups on a schedule.

The mechanism of archiving involves creating customizations. The program checks the installed packages/applications and existing hook file (XML) configuration data applications and offers the user to choose what from him (the user) should be and what is not, on the basis of this contemplate a plan of archiving and made the process of archiving on a certain button (or in case of service (2) a pre-established user schedule.

In the settings the user can choose: - Path to the folder with files (default is something like ~ / .kronikarz / Backups); - File type (zip, tar.gz, tar.bz2, possibly others); - Applications, settings which should be archived; - Additional files that the program should be able to maintain (just files / folders user); - Species generated archive "simple / savings account," in one file archive / for different archive file "; - Schedule daily / weekly / monthly / yearly / every N days, time, day, month to create an archive, or when you start / stop systems; - The number of stored files (only for treatment schedules); May appear and more settings.

Counts 2 functions the main application (Backup / Restore), access that should be simple and clear for any level user.

XML File Example
Hook a configuration file XML (example): Samba    / etc / samba   / etc / smb.conf  <! - this is just example ->  samba  samba-common  samba-client  samba-winbind-clients    service smb start  <! - also, as an example, opportunity to run commands should be, but under the user -> 

To restore the program should offer a list to create an archive copies one of which user can select. And / or select a folder with files user samomtoyatelno. In the case of a storage of archives, offers a choice should be a tree and data recovery process should be carried out starting with the first archive, coasting, if the recovery is complete or separate copy of the date.

Since the idea is supposed to implement in python, it should be implement: - Backend with basic functional backup / recovery; - Frontend main application (remember that we use as graphic library Qt); - Frontend service / service / daemon (2) as a convenient user may user daemon and an applet to him for Gnome / KDE, or application, which will be located in the tray.

Timeline
1) one week (7 days) on the harmonization of technical specifications and definition of roles;

2) 20 days to implement backend functionality to the basic archiving / reconstruction;

3) 20 days to implement basic frontend GUI-applications (draft Alternatively, alpha-version);

4) 10 days for implementation frontend service / daemon (draft version alpha);

5) 15 days for debugging frontends (3, 4);

6) 7 days for final release testing;

7) 2 days on a package of RPM. The general plan of work: 81 days.

Last summer I participated in GSOC working on vlc. But at the end of this summer I hope to contribute to the Fedora Project as a regular contributer.

Impact
If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Fedora community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Fedora community, at least one of whom should be a Fedora Summer Coding mentor. Provide email contact information for non-Summer Coding mentors.

Miscellaneous

 * 1) Can you set up an appropriate development environment?yes.
 * 2) Have you met your proposed mentor and members of the associated community?Yes.
 * 3) What is your t-shirt size? L
