Popularity-contest http POST: call for testers
|
|
| Bill Allombert 2005-03-05, 5:57 pm |
| Hello developers,
We have plans to add support in popularity-contest to send the
report through http POST. Both the server part an the client part have
been developed. The last issue is to actually use it in the cron job
and see what issues
For that purpose, I have made an experimental popularity-contest package
that use both smtp and http. Please find it here:
<http://people.debian.org/~ballombe/popcon/debs>
This package report to the test popcon account so we can monitor it.
We would really like people to review or test this package in real
situations, in particular when network connectivity is chaotic.
We would like to make sure the popcon cron job will not cause problem
to users with poor network.
Thanks in advance for your comments,
--

This is *great*, since it resolves bug #239097.

I have not yet bothered to setup smtp on my machine to go through my
ISP's required gateway, so I could only send reports via the HTTP
method. Would my beta testing still be helpful, or are reports needed
via both methods for the test?
Thanks,
Jacob

On the contrary, it would be very useful!
Cheers,
Bill.

Not yet, because it does not report to the normal popcon account so I am
afraid that look a bit sneaky to just drop it in experimental without
warning users.

Thanks! It's installed now... with the sendmail section commented out in
the cron.weekly file (just to keep down the number of e-mails that cron
sends me).
HTH & HAND,
Jacob
