[Discuss-gnuradio] [GSoC] Pybombs GUI - Weekly report

[Ravi Sharan]

Hi list,

Please find the weekly report for pybomb-gui at [1]. This week's
progress is as follows:

- Separate GUI and pybombs' functionality using QThread mechanism.
This makes sure that the GUI has the focus all the time and doesn't
hang while the backend is collecting package information or performing
install/update/remove tasks.
- Configure pkexec and sudo according to the pybombs usage (sudo when
using as cli and pkexec when using it from gui)
- Route logs to the gui dialog while performing tasks using the gui
(based on previous week's feedback)
- Test the gui on different distros

I am looking forward to tag an alpha release for others to test and
collect feedback from the community before a full functional release.
Until then, the progress can be tracked at [2].

Cheers,
Ravi
