PostPosted: Thu Sep 17, 2009 10:53 pm    Post subject: Gentoo machine setup statistics: Public beta test launched Reply with quote

Hello!

Under the umbrella of Google Summer of Code 2009 a tool to collect data on Gentoo machine setups has been developed to be able to better prioritize development efforts in Gentoo.
The data collected ranges from details about installed packages to compile flags to the selection of mirrors. What data is submitted can be configured freely to match your needs of privacy.

With the collected data Gentoo will be able to better answer all sorts of questions including:
  • Which non-system packages deserve extra attention?
  • What common setup mistakes do people make?
  • How well is the usage of mirrors balanced?


You can check out the test instance by following these steps:
Code:
sudo layman -a sping
sudo autounmask =app-admin/gentoo-smolt-9999
sudo emerge -av =app-admin/gentoo-smolt-9999

smoltSendProfile --server=http://smolt.hartwork.org:45678/


After an hour your data will be included in the report:

More documentation (especially on control over privacy) can be found here:


I hope you have a few minutes to participate.

Thanks for your time and interest!



Sebastian

Is the intention to introduce smolt to the official tree anytime "soon", like, <1 month?
If so, I'll hold for that. Overlays are a great tool, but I prefer not to need keeping track of several of them. :)

Smolt is already available, the Gentoo branch is experimental still and will be merged into the Smolt mainline sometime soon. So this is for testing only, a widespread "official" usage will be announced through other channels.

Very interesting statistics.
A question now, I run funtoo ~amd64. Can I still install the tools or would you prefer not ? (not meant to start a polemic here btw :) Just asking because I don't know if you would prefer it to be 100% pure Gentoo or if something so heavily based on Gentoo as Funtoo can be of interest for you :) )

It should be no problem to use it on Funtoo.

I agree with Fauli, you're definitely wanted.

Seems like you got company, looks like 2 funtoo machines now:

Missed this earlier...I'm on board. I participated in the original gentoo statistics system, until it suddenly just went away. Maybe something like that can return...it provides a very interesting look at the trends of the installed base.

I had it from time to time, too, no idea yet, why.

Can you give it a second try and see if it's "permanent" for you?

Just tried again for me, worked fine.

Are you sure it's gentoo-smolt, not plain smolt? (Does the information submitted contain Gentoo-specific stuff? Can you have a look?)
I'm sping on freenode if you like IRC.

Maybe we can meet in IRC later and have you submit again while I monitor the log files live?

Failed here. It is almost 2 hours since you have posted the above message. Should it take this long for your update to be captured by layman? Here is what git log gives:

What error do you get from portage - same again?

If so could you do
Code:
sudo rm -Rf /usr/portage/distfiles/git-src/gentoo-smolt

and try again?

This was a fresh checkout. I just checked out using layman -a sping.

EDIT: Is this what the directory structure should look like?
Code:
...ocal/portage/layman/sping> l -a /opt/distfiles/git-src/gentoo-smolt
total 12K
4.0K ./  4.0K ../  4.0K .git/
...ocal/portage/layman/sping> l -a /opt/distfiles/git-src/gentoo-smolt/.git
total 40K
4.0K ./   4.0K HEAD    4.0K description  4.0K info/     4.0K packed-refs
4.0K ../  4.0K config  4.0K hooks/       4.0K objects/  4.0K refs/

Please show me the output of

Code:
fgrep '$Header' /usr/portage/eclass/git.eclass
.

Do is it differ from

Quote:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/eclass/git.eclass,v 1.33 2009/12/29 17:18:16 scarabeus Exp $

It is the same:

...ocal/portage/layman/sping> fgrep '$Header' /usr/portage/eclass/git.eclass
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/eclass/git.eclass,v 1.33 2009/12/29 17:18:16 scarabeus Exp $

EDIT: Are you on some irc channel. It will be quicker to sort this thing out on irc.

For the log: we met on IRC and after manually fixing .git/HEAD to
Code:
ref: refs/heads/gentoo

on the remote repo things seem to work fine.

I'll retry a few more times before I go to bed. Coming from 98.198.198.151 if it helps you track it down in the logs (6:30AM here, soon to bed, dunno if ill be up long enough to suss it out on IRC or whatnot - I could do so tomorrow)

I did have another question though regarding submissions from users with multiple Gentoo systems.

If I have a half dozen Gentoo machines, would you be interested in one from each?
Or would one submission per user be more useful data for you?
