[gentoo-dev] Gentoo stats server/client @ 2010-04-21

[Sebastian Pipping]

Intro
=====
  Some of you may remember that project of mine I worked on for
  GSOC 2009: collection of information on Gentoo user machine setups.

  I have been extending Smolt [1] (whose current upstream version
  collects information on hardware) to fit our interest in the
  software side of things.


News
====
  In the past days [2] I have been migrating the server side of Smolt
  to server-to-server communication.  What does that mean?

  Server-to-server communication
  ------------------------------
    When a client submits to the Gentoo Smolt Server, the server will
    extract the part of interest to the common Smolt server (smolts.org)
    and forward it.

    As a consequence the needs for space in storage (quite a few SQL
    tables, use flags per installed package, ..) and increased
    processing time per submission are no problem to smolts.org
    anymore.  Also we gain more direct access to "our" data from it.

  Another thing I've been working on is re-shaping the Gentoo code in
  a way that it's now ready to go upstream, at least from my point of
  view.  I have requested permission to merge it in a few hours ago:
  Let's see how upstream thinks about it.

  So that's the news I wanted to share with you.

Great, thanks! I've been waiting for your project to become more 
official for months. :) :)
