Note that you can see what statistics are being reported for your system with
/opt/local/libexec/mpstats show
You may want to direct the output to a file or text editor!
For my system, there are about 750 active ports and over 2,700 inactive ports.
For example, all 13 versions of qt5x-qtbase are included in the inactive ports.
My submission totals about 3,500 lines or 203,000 bytes.
I see no reason to report inactive ports. Is there some value to this
information that I am missing? Presumably, eliminating the inactive ports
would cut down the data traffic to about 43 kB. If so, I think weekly
reporting would be quite feasible.
The “OS” section for my system is:
"os": {
"macports_version": "2.5.4",
"osx_version": "10.10",
"os_arch": "i386",
"os_platform": "darwin",
"build_arch": "x86_64",
"gcc_version": "none",
"xcode_version": "7.2.1"
},
The gcc-version is no longer relevant.
