Done.

Previous test participants are welcome to re-submit as the data model
change has basically reset the data collected on the FEATURES variable.

Sorry I wasn't able to address this issue earlier.

I have just committed a patch [1] that could fix it. Please try again
with the latest HEAD and let me know how it works for you.

If anyone can guide me on how to better address such errors I'm all open
for it.

Is that after the patch? The string should be plain ASCII at that point
already. That puzzles me, are you very sure it's the new code?
There should be a new function "to_ascii" in there.

If it's after the patch do you have the time to play with the code
yourself? Is it on a machine I could SSH into? It's kind of hard for
me to debug this with it not happening on my machine. I can
fake-produce it (which I did) but I don't get your scenario, it seems.

What's the status of the stats project? What's missing? What help is
needed?

I'd really like to see a system that can answer:
"How often is cpv x installed on arch y (testing/stable flavour)?"

Hello Torsten, thanks for your interest.
Let me quote myself from a recent reply on a similar question:

for the quickest summary possible these steps are needed:
- make me have and take time for it (soon again as planned)
- fix server performance to not take 10 seconds per gentoo-submission
(my alchemy code is partly stupid, now i know)
- move batch processing upstream (depends on upstream co-op)
- get more gentoo people join coding after
(http://soc.gentooexperimental.org/projects/stats/issues)

That's possible, yes. Please elaborate more on motivation and details.

Just a quick note:

The server on http://smolt.hartwork.org:45678/ is up again, it was down
yesterday.
