mmm...

Another option is to create a compiling error log file and a command that the user can issue to send the log file to the user/Database/site/what_ever_solution_you_choose

This approach allows the user to view the file and be sure of what info is sent. It also allows the user to automate the sending with cron or another scheduler.
Some notes on the newbie manual, site, etc. requesting the users to send the info, why and how to do it will help the users to remember and understand what that info is for.

With this solution we respect the user privacy but provide him with an easy way to participate and contribute.

my 0EUR02 about it anyway.

Keep up the good work

Hugo.

I think it's a good idea, but maybe as a command the user could run
instead of something run automatically. Like "sorcery report sed" would
send an email that sed failed (and maybe include the compile log).

Heya guys,

Dufflebank and I thought of an idea where each time a compile time failure happens, an automated email gets sent to a automatically processing perl script which updates stats on what things fail...

So, then you can tell what packages are really broken and needs work to be done by the maintainer...

Something like

Rank Package Version GCC version Reason
1 sed 3.02.80 3.1 Failed to retrieve source
2 .... ... .... ....

Any thoughts on this?

Damien
