[gNewSense-users] [Fwd: Re: popularity-contest]

[Matthew Flaschen]

This is a package that optionally sends information about most-used
packages to a developer address.  It is installed by default, but
disabled.  However, the address is currently set to
address@hidden .  I made a builder script to change ubuntu to
${DISTRONAME_L} everywhere.  Really, there should be a separate variable
for domain name (maybe there is).  On that note, can gnewsense.com be
forwarded to gnewsense.org?... The script's attached.

I'd appreciate feedback.
