Some of you may remember that project of mine I worked on for |
| 4 |
GSOC 2009: collection of information on Gentoo user machine setups. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have been extending Smolt [1] (whose current upstream version |
| 7 |
collects information on hardware) to fit our interest in the |
| 8 |
software side of things. |

In the past days [2] I have been migrating the server side of Smolt |
| 14 |
to server-to-server communication. What does that mean? |

Server-to-server communication |
| 17 |
------------------------------ |
| 18 |
When a client submits to the Gentoo Smolt Server, the server will |
| 19 |
extract the part of interest to the common Smolt server (smolts.org) |
| 20 |
and forward it. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
As a consequence the needs for space in storage (quite a few SQL |
| 23 |
tables, use flags per installed package, ..) and increased |
| 24 |
processing time per submission are no problem to smolts.org |
| 25 |
anymore. Also we gain more direct access to "our" data from it. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Another thing I've been working on is re-shaping the Gentoo code in |
| 28 |
a way that it's now ready to go upstream, at least from my point of |
| 29 |
view. I have requested permission to merge it in a few hours ago: |
| 30 |
Let's see how upstream thinks about it. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So that's the news I wanted to share with you. |
