gentoo-stats appears to have problems with /proc/cpuinfo on ppc Here comes the culprit: nick $ cat /proc/cpuinfo cpu : 750FX temperature : 39 C (uncalibrated) clock : 700MHz revision : 1.18 (pvr 7000 0112) bogomips : 1389.36 machine : PowerBook4,3 motherboard : PowerBook4,3 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 257 (iBook 2 with 14" LCD) pmac flags : 00000003 L2 cache : 512K unified memory : 128MB pmac-generation : NewWorld
I'd like to propose these modifications for PPC. So the output would look like Vendor: PowerBook4,3 Model: 750FX MHz: 700 Flags: PowerBook4,3 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh diff -u /usr/sbin/gentoo-stats /usr/sbin/gentoo-stats.modified --- /usr/sbin/gentoo-stats Fri Aug 2 12:57:49 2002 +++ /usr/sbin/gentoo-stats.modified Fri Aug 2 12:56:59 2002 @@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ { s/[\r\n]//g; - if (/^vendor_id/) + if (/^machine/) { if (length($vendor) > 0) { @@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ $vendor =~ s/^[ \t]*//; } - if (/^model name/) + if (/^cpu/) { if (length($modelname) > 0) { @@ -91,7 +91,7 @@ $modelname =~ s/^[ \t]*//; } - if (/^cpu MHz/) + if (/^clock/) { if (length($mhz) > 0) { @@ -103,9 +103,10 @@ ($x, $mhz) = split(/:/); $mhz =~ s/^[ \t]*//; + $mhz =~ s/MHz//; } - if (/^flags/) + if (/^motherboard/) { if (length($flags) > 0) {
Hi Maik, I think this is meant for you, since it's your baby =) Some of the fields would be labeled wrong, but we can hammer those out if your willing to make the changes. We'd need to look at the table you have, vs the info I have in the proc table and see if I can get the appropriate info. But the Vendor of the CPU is not PowerBook =)

until this is fixed, shouldn't gentoo-stats not have 'ppc' in KEYWORDS?

Don't need to keep sending us new versions, the data will stay the same actually, it's just a matter of changing uname and proc cpuinfo, which isn't part of this package. Nor will the vendor str ever say powerbook =)
I've set this as -ppc temporarily, until this is resolved
Bug is requesting that valid information be pulled from /proc/cpuinfo to match information gathered by x86 info for the result of generating a corect form. Will create new bug for uname.c and proc table modifications.
FYI: I've also set "-sparc -sparc64" on gentoo-stats, since I guess it doesn't work there as well. In addition, doesn't it make more sense to tweak gentoo-stats to take care of those weird /proc/cpuinfo's before (if even) changing something else? trance: I haven't found the time to tweak gentoo-stats that way yet, so it would be cool if you can send me your changes so I can incorporate them into the official gentoo-stats.
I haven't made any changes to gentoo-stats. In order to collect the information that gentoo stats is looking for, such as processor manufacture, that needs to be added into /proc on the ppc. If you want to fix gentoo-stats to look for alternative str's thats fine with me, but the basic info gentoo-stats is looking for doesn't exist on sparc or ppc, but it should. If you want to do a hack until then, there is code in the bug that has been submitted, but it looks for the wrong part, the vendor ID str he picked is the board type. I could give you a list of the Apple str's and if any of them were that, it would be the machine type of "Apple" and then either "PowerBook", "iBook" or "PowerMac". Kevyn
Maik: any chance at looking at tweaking gentoo-stats for non x86 arches? Since its being proposed for higher purposes in gentoo now I think its pretty important...
Fixed, update to gentoo-stats-0.4 and off you go! :)
