I have a patch I'd like to submit that I put on all my builds for the distccmon-text. It enables timestamping and only kicks out a newline if something's changed. The default behaviour has no timestamp ("When did this happen again??"), and the newlines come every 'N' seconds (for whatever value of N you specify on the command line), even if nothing's changed. I'm not sure if this is worth putting in bugzilla, but I thought it's worth a shot. :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A
The patch seems to be missing... ;-)
Created attachment 72494 [details, diff] Patch This patch adds a timestamp and doesn't update unless something's changed.
Apologies on not submitting the patch - my machine was submitting rather slowly so I went to bed. :) THe patch is there now. :) Let me know what you think!
You forgot to reopen...
What can I say, I'm awesome at this bugzilla thing. :) Sorry. Please don't let my incompetence in filing bugs impact this patch. I'd really like it in the distcc build. It makes the monitor a lot more useful. :)
what version of the source was this made on? have you sent it upstream to the distcc list? when you do please give the Gentoo bug number as a reference. distcc@lists.samba.org i will give this a try in an hour and see if it works as advertised. if it works i'll commit it.
This is made off of the latest: http://distcc.samba.org/ftp/distcc/distcc-2.18.3.tar.bz2 I originally sent a modified version of this patch to the distcc group about a year ago but it wasn't integrated. Someone then cleaned it up, and it still wasn't added. There was no reason given (I assume it was simply a lack of time, or the changes weren't big enough, I'm not sure). I'll e-mail the distcc list the patch as well as the bug reference number again, in the hopes they'll integrate it.
My thread on the distcc list.
Err, I meant to attach a link with that: http://lists.samba.org/archive/distcc/2005q4/003179.html
When this is implemented upstream I'll also make sure it's implemented here. Unfortunately if I do this on Gentoo I'll have to do every other patch which isn't supported upstream. Sorry.
