I agree TCP isn't needed, I also don't see SSL very useful here, I use it extensively for other projects and it would have been even simpler to use SSL over TCP than to use cleartext UDP with twisted, but it was pointless to hide the contents of the packet on the network, when then I show all of them on the website ;) So I'd rather save some packet on the network and some cpu as well. > A kernel option that is clearly documented what exact info is logged > would IMHO work better. (A userspace program is technically a better It's certainly much easier to tweak the kernel config before compiling the kernel than to edit the mess in /etc/init.d/* with all the gratuitous differences of the userland flavours. Clearly it would be an option to keep disabled by default. The object of the project is to know how much testing a rc/pre kernel had before release, and most of the testers are supposed to tweak the config option by themself, so having a config tweak would make it very easy to setup. It'll be a bit lighter too, twisted currently takes 6m of RSS on a x86. However I'm quite neutral, the main advantage of the userland solution is that it has been orders of magnitude simpler to develop. I could perhaps write an auto-installer script, that fetches the tac file with wget and adds a line to /etc/init.d/boot.local to make life easier. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
