Last time that I remember this being discussed on IRC, though (in the context of popcon, which used to only submit its usage stats via email), we came to the conclusion that it is difficult to automate sending messages since Mac OS X (client) does not have a SMTP server configured. You would have to go through the system-selected mail client, which is a bit of a pain from a script. Part of the problem is that not everyone is connected to the net all the time (or they only have HTTP proxies), but at selfupdate time, there is at least enough net connectivity to download packages. This suggests that we might be better off going with some sort of CGI script for stats submission, potentially hosted on finkproject.org. -- - Charles Lepple ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
