A tool that drives linaro-media-create, downloading any image files and hardware packs needed.

Headline: linaro-fetch-image-ui is a wizard style graphical tool that guides the user through the process of creating a fully functional operating system for Linaro supported hardware, downloading all the required files for them, and driving linaro-media-create. This makes installing an operating system extremely easy. For developers the tool provides an easy way to run daily builds, and for those who like a command line, linaro-fetch-image will download and install an operating system with a single command.

Full time development of this tool is on hold, so the last set of work items don't have a target milestone:

Work items (11.07):
Remove status prints from indexer: DONE
Add download sizes to UI: DONE
Remove GUI references from create_media: DONE
Remove all GUI code from common library: DONE
Download sh1sums and pass to linaro-media-create: DONE
Rename and move files to match other modules: DONE
If file exists, force download if not of correct size: DONE
pkexec has config file so we have a "program x is doing this" message, not "/path/to/program is requesting root": DONE
Rename scripts to have "linaro-" prefixed and good names, to match the other scripts in linaro-image-tools: DONE

Work items (11.08):
Fix unit tests so they don't use downloaded/cached configuration + database: DONE
Update user interface in line with discussions from Linaro Connect: DONE
Improve error handling when linaro-media-create does something unexpected: DONE

Work items (Future):
Move filtering of directories (old etc.) into indexer: DONE
Indexer uses configuration file instead of configuration inside code: TODO
Remove places where release_or_snapshot leeks out of UI code: DONE
Log linaro-media-create commands to somewhere: DONE
Testing: Need a fake linaro-media-create for fault injection and a regression suite. Also need a GUI testing strategy beyond manually running it so I can run nightly tests: TODO
Add support for multiple sources of snapshots (and releases?): TODO
Keep a list of files in all directories in the index to avoid screen scraping in def list_files_in_dir_of_url(self, url): TODO
Try to gracefully terminate threads instead of just calling sys.exit() where possible: TODO
Android media create support: TODO
Modify linaro-media-create to send status messages to UI to avoid localisation issues parsing the l-m-c output: TODO
Remove instances of release_or_snapshot variable being used in string concatenation: TODO
Break out database code into a separate file: TODO
Revisit parameterisation of strings, particularly SQLite queries: TODO
Check documentation of database schema and YAML config is up to date: TODO
Remove need for releases to be put in config YAML: TODO
Add name mapping scheme for build names (http://snapshots.linaro.org/precise/linaro-p-nano/ should just be Nano): TODO
Add sensible defaults to command line (e.g. Panda provided as hardware or a panda hardware pack picked, use as default for the other. No OS chosen? Pick Ubuntu desktop...): TODO
