paul- i second martin's idea that you have done nothing wrong. i just went and read your bug in bugzilla and see no problem with it being put into gmetad and frontend. looks like nicely written code to me. you've done everything right.
my only concern about your patch is that people using filesystems that can take a "/" in a filename will find that their data is written to differently named files. if the developers here are ok with that, i'm happy to just drop in the patch. we also need to a add a simple check to make sure free() isn't passed NULL (some operating systems don't like that). i joined a startup this summer and haven't had any free time to work on ganglia. martin had done a lot of the heavy lifting over the last year but now he doesn't have spare cycles. i'm happy to open subversion access to any developers on this list who are blocked waiting for someone to drop in a patch. the ganglia team is very informal. we don't really have a formal code process which is both good and bad. sorry for not being as responsive as we have in the past. -- matt massie phone: 415.692.0828 x2843 fax: 415.278.0441 http://archrock.com/
