Hello everyone,
me and a group of people from the IRC #gentoo support chan started a
project to make a simple bash script that would pastebin some overall info
about the system for the troubleshooters.
Homepage http://sourceforge.net/projects/gentoo-genalyze/
Development (current) repo:
https://github.com/smartass101/genalyze/tree/master
Freenode chan: #gentoo-genalyze
Just today we've discovered that you have cookbug. In essence they do they
same thing, but the implementation and a few aspects are different: we
have module priorities, more command-line options, pastebin one central
file and module groups in the future
I just wanted to let you know that this project exists, because it would
be stupid to reinvent the wheel ;)
We are open to collaboration, feel free to borrow ideas from us and we may
do that too, but i don't think that would be very useful, as we would be
possibly implementing one thing twice.
I don't think we should be fusing the projects, as the concepts behind
them are slightly different:
you upload a tarball, we just pastebin one central file
you have more log messages/large files, we have more general system setup
info with simple and short output
My suggestion is that we do not clone features from each other and rather
try to collaborate in such a way, that each project would concentrate on
different things and together they would provide a complete
troubleshooting suite, e.g. we could have more of the simple system setup
stuff, you have more of the log messages and large files with lists, but
this is just a very rough example of course.
Please let me know what you think about this.
Regards,
Ondrej Grover
