LAppTrack Developer Guide

This manual is designed for a developer audience to enhance features or to add plug-in to handle new products. This documentation describes data, classes and scripts composing the LAppTrack part.

The LAppTrack part is written only in Python, and it composed of several components. The main component is a script (lapptrack) in charge of the user interface (in text mode), plug-in handling and operations scheduling. The bulk of the LAppTrack part consists of a collection of python modules grouped in a package (cots). Each of these modules tracks a product based on the editor’s information sources and fetches the updates.
