BSDStats v6.0 Released - needs non-FreeBSD testing




Over the past month, Yuri has been working on updating the script, as well as fixing some bugs related to the reporting of ports (on FreeBSD) … the full list of changes in below, but one of the biggest is that the script now uses nc(1) in order to do all submissions … the old used a combination of fetch or ftp, depending on the system …

Could you please test, and confirm, that the new version is running on your OS, and update ports where applicable?

Thank you ...

This release contains the following changes:

* Fixed the problem that few last packages in the list were always missing
  from submission (patch originally developed by Marc)
* Optimization of collection of installed packages information (bug#198650)
* Added TOR port option to submit anonymously (bug#198679)
* Fixed the problem that HTTP_PROXY option didn't work when
  user/password were required
* Reduced the effect of -nodelay, before it also prevented the submission
  of package information
* Fixed the problem that port submission also contained the
  duplicate of device submission
* Added bsdstats-update command to make it easier to run manually
* Made all network submissions done through the single command (nc(1))
* Fixed the bug that 'Run now' feature wasn't working when built from port
* Fixed the problem that failures of package information submission
  were silently ignored
* Fixed typo
* Made 300.statistics script to have consistent coding style
* Extensive code cleanups in 300.statistics
* Made log file more informative
* Added BSD license
* Changed maintainership to me, as requested by the current maintainer

I am going to update the version on the website (http://www.bsdstats.org) to the new version, and wish to add a “Verified on” list under the link …

thx
