I have a couple of doubts here: 1. Once I install mpstats does it still send weekly reports? I could not find the required code to do this in the port files. Code for manually submitting is available in mpstats.tcl but I am unable to locate the code for automating the submissions. What am I missing here?
2. I am completely new to Buildbot. I went though their website buildbot.net, I understand its functioning, but am not getting the practical approach. Can you give me a brief idea of how it is implemented with Macports? Like what are the events that are taking place and when? Thank You.
