[gentoo-soc] Log collection and analysis: report for 6.17-24

[Antanas Uršulis]

Hello everyone,

I'm working on the "Log collection and analysis for the tinderbox"
project. It aims to create a replacement for the current solution,
which, in short, collects build logs (and other info) from the
tinderbox, finds out which of these logs come from builds that failed,
and displays them, along with lines indicating errors/warnings/etc. to
the tinderbox runner, so that the issue can be investigated, bugs
filed, and so on.

There is a wiki page [1] which currently contains a copy of the
original proposal and code will be placed in [2].

---------

I did not anticipate that I would need to run so many errands after
exams in university, so the progress has been a bit slow.
Nevertheless, here is what I've done over the past week or more:
* set up a Gentoo VM that I will use later when I develop Portage
integration (in order to keep my main system functional)
* started building a skeleton of the server-side components: an HTTP
based server

Being relatively on schedule, my plans for the next few days are:
* finish the server so that it treats requests as file uploads, and
stores the files in directories based on the client's hostname
* write a simple file submission client

Good luck to everyone,
Antanas
