With regard to archstats- I just picked up the code the other day and started fiddling around with it. I've simplified it a bit by moving a ton of duplicate code into functions, and I'd like to make it a no-brainer to set up and use by arch users. Right now it is a bit heavy on the configuration side. With some changes, we should be able to collect some real data. If anyone is interested, I set up a GIT repo here where I am doing my changes: <http://code.toofishes.net/gitweb.cgi?p=archstats.git;a=summary> -Dan _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
