GSoC 2023: Rust and GTK 4 Bustle Rewrite (Week 5 & 6)

Progress Made

This week, the PR to implement Display for Value, Array, Structure, Dict, and Maybe has been merged. Thus, there is a much nicer way now upstream to display zbus::Value, similar to GVariant. With this blocker cleared out, the zbus port MR has also been merged, fully porting the Bustle rewrite to zbus.

Furthermore, my mentor, Bilal, started implementing session monitoring and saving to a PCAP file while I continued their work and implemented system and address recording. However, it is not yet merged as there are some things to be figured out and more work to do. Specifically, it currently requires a dbus-monitor binary installed on the host, which is not great for distributions that do not package it.

Aside from those mentioned above, I have also been working on drawing the diagram. I am still studying the older Haskell codebase to prevent reinventing the wheel on some implementations. Unfortunately, the current implementation is still not ready enough for a screenshot.

To easily track the missing features, we also set up an issue board.

Plans for the Following Weeks

In the following weeks, I will get the PR to implement and address recording merged and work on more parts of the diagram drawing.

That's all for this week. Thanks for reading!
