[Teammetrics-discuss] Updates and fixes based on recent discussions.

[Sukhbir Singh]

Hi Andreas,

Lots of changes based on all we discussed.

1. updatenames.py now reads the names and the bots from two files,
instead of within the script itself.

    Location: /etc/teammetrics/

    names.list      -       Updated names
    bots.list       -       Bots to removed

I deviated from the .conf name because it's not a configuration file
exactly, but feel free to correct me if you feel otherwise. See the
file structure in '/etc/teammetrics/' (repository) to see the
structure. In nutshell:

For names.list:

    Real Name   : Variation of Name-1, Variation of Name-2 ...

For bots.list:

    Bot to be removed-1
    Bot to be removed-2

Our query for updatenames.py looks like this:

    query = """UPDATE {0}
            SET name = %s
            WHERE name ILIKE %s""".format(table)

:) I like the new changes.

2. Spam filtering support has been added to archiveparser.py. We will
come to know how well it is doing when we test it.

3. From your other mail:

Done (bots.list)

Done.

Fixed. Eric Sharkey.

> xerces8

Can't find the real name for this, looks like 'xerces' prefers 'xerces' only!

Yup, fixed.

I want to test these changes myself because there are certain things I
want to observe and possibly so because there may be something
missings. I will clear 'listarchives' when I get the go ahead from
you.

Is there anything else that you feel needs fixing? Please let me know :)
