Moin, on this rather slow sunday I was pondering writing a KDE-based monitor for distcc, but then I realized that I'm not quite sure what such a monitor should display.
IMHO a graphical monitor should add a real additional value, maybe by drawing graphs or such, it should not simply be a X version of the textmode monitor. I looked at the GtK monitor but I must say I'm not terribly impressed by it, as far as I can tell it displays exactly the same information as the textmode client. The only difference is that I get sortable columns in the table, and I don't have to start an xterm to start the monitor. Now, how about a little brainstorming on this list about what a distcc monitor should display? I was thinking, maybe a hit ratio or so would be interesting (percentages how much of a project was built on each of the boxes), so that one can possibly optimize the DISTCC_HOSTS line (hosts mentioned earlier are preferred) or such. - Frerich __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/distcc
