I am happy to announce that BSDstats-6.0 has just been released. (port sysutils/bsdstats) I took over its maintainership, cleaned it up, very close to a complete rewrite. For those who doesn't know what it is: It is the system that is anonymously reporting the general statistics about your system: CPU, hardware, OS version, installed packages. Reporting is done monthly, or on demand. Data is added to the central database, and can be viewed at http://www.bsdstats.org. It is designed for all BSDs, not just FreeBSD. Some other BSDs require it to run with bash shell. Major changes: 1. It now has "TOR" port option, that allows to submit through the tor anonymity network for even better anonymity. 2. Submission through HTTP proxy is fixed. It now works through proxies with and without authentication. 3. It works many times faster now. Usually finishes in under 10 seconds. 4. Many smaller bugs are fixed. Please install BSDstats and use it. It helps port maintainers and driver developers to better focus their efforts. It is not collecting any personally identifiable data. All data is handled with the greatest respect of your privacy in mind. Keeping it installed is all you need to do. Regards, Yuri
