Hello again!
I have set up a test server of the current stats code. If you have a
minute to check it out that would rock. I'm very interested in overall
feedback and bug reports.
To check it out please do as following:
0) Make sure you have these packages installed:
sys-apps/portage
dev-util/git
dev-python/rhpl
dev-python/urlgrabber
dev-python/simplejson
dev-python/dbus-python
1) Check out the code
# git clone git://git.goodpoint.de/smolt-gentoo.git
# cd smolt-gentoo/client
# git checkout --track -b gentoo origin/gentoo
2) Verify my server is running at the very moment by browsing to
http://smolt.hartwork.org:45678/static/stats/gentoo.html
3) Run the client (which asks and shows details before submission)
# python sendProfile.py \
--server=http://smolt.hartwork.org:45678/
Please note that a summary update is triggered manually so gentoo.html
will not update instantly. You can ping me on Freenode though, to make
me trigger an update earlier.
To disable certain classes of data for privacy reasons you can put this
in ~/.smolt/client.cfg
[gentoo]
arch_related = True
compile_flags = True
features = True
global_use_flags = True
installed_packages = True
installed_packages_use_flags = True
mirrors_sync = True
mirrors_distfiles = True
package_mask = True
repositories = True
system_profile = True
and turn "True" to "False" where necessary.
Have fun and please share your experience with it.
Sebastian
