[GBD] Need Feedback and bugreports if any...

[dma147]

Since nobody has answered to my Mails on the gentoo-dev mailinglist and since nobody of the devs seems to be interested in reviving stats.gentoo.org I now will ask the gentoo-users.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello all,

the most of you don't know me. So I'll first introduce myself.
My name is Alexander Mieland, I'm 32 years old and a german Webprogrammer.
I am using *linux* since four years now, but until the beginning of this
year only the SuSE distribution. From then on until now, I'm learning
gentoo.
I'm also the maintainer and developer of www.gentoo-stats.org, the GBD.

It would take too long to tell you, what the idea is behind this and how
it works or should work. So please read first the About:
http://www.gentoo-stats.org/index.php?c=aboutgu
...and then, the F.A.Q:
http://www.gentoo-stats.org/index.php?c=faq

Because we have released a new version of our client today and also
reseted the statistics-database, because there were too many changes in
the client, we now need some information and feedback about this project,
the client and the whole idea.

Please keep in mind, that the thing with the mergetimes *could* and
*should* be never really accurate. The mergetimes should only be an
assistance to the really new gentoo-users, who otherwise would ask every
few minutes how long it could take to merge this or that package. No
more.

Also keep in mind to really understand how this works, before you'll begin
to flame me. *g* It is all explained under the "About"-Link.
You can also be oriented towards the "SBU" of the LFS-project. You can
find there explanation under this link:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter04/aboutsbus.html

Please try the actual client on as many arches as you have access on.
Also please give us detailed feedback and/or bugreport (either
in this thread or with private mail).

If you ever had installed an old gbd-client, please delete it from ~/bin
and also delete the whole directory ~/.gbd too before you'll install the
new client.

Well, I hope for many feedback and less bugreports. *g*

Thanks.

I have some feedback.. you need to provide other packages as references for "GU" adjustment.. I run a server that does not run any sort of X server, and all the packages you have provided are X-dependent applications.

Why don't you put something like "glibc" or "perl" or any other "long" builds that is something everyone will have done (or at least more than likely) as opposed to only X apps.

hello geekmug,

well, that should be no problem. *g*
I'll add some other packages...
