LuCI on MGMT - Day 6

Hurdle 5: Identifying Any /etc/config Interop

Task 1: Reviewing Search Results

Some new searches have been added to porting/~search.ps1. /etc/config interop search is saved to porting/searches/config/etc.hits.*

Only noteable hit was:

• modules/luci-lua-runtime/luasrc/model/uci.lua
  • This is a Lua abstraction for UCI
  • Already planned to be ported to LuMI

Hurdle 6: Identifying Any luci.config interop

Task 1: Reviewing Search Results

This search has also been added to porting/~search.ps1. The results are saved to porting/searches/module.hits.*

A few noteable hits:

• modules/luci-compat/luasrc/cbi.lua
  • This is a part of LuCI's Configuration Bind Interface (CBI)
  • Helps map UCI configuration files to HTML forms.
  • Already planned to be ported to LuMI
• modules/luci-lua-runtime/luasrc/cacheloader.lua
  • This is a new one.
  • It's a small cache enabler for LuCI. It appears to be an artifact of the old LuCI architecture (pre-ucode)
• modules/luci-lua-runtime/luasrc/config.lua
  • Quite literally the "luci.config" module.
  • Already planned to be ported to LuMI
• modules/luci-lua-runtime/luasrc/template.lua
  • Modifies luci.config.template and reads luci.config.main to provide a template engine for LuCI.
• modules/luci-lua-runtime/luasrc/model/uci.lua
  • This is a wrapper around the uci module that provides a more Lua-like interface.
  • Already planned to be ported to LuMI
• modules/luci-mod-rpc/luasrc/controller/rpc.lua
  • Primarily referenced for getting uci session time setting.
  • Already planned to be ported to LuMI

Today's load will be light, as yesterday's took quite a bit of time to go through. Tomorrow, we will be backstepping as we missed reviewing search results within ucode files.
