Call for tester (again)
Filipe Pires Alvarenga Fernandes
I would like to ask for your help again to test a Virtual Machine (VM)
with ccc-gistemp installed. The VM contains a Graphical User interface
(GUI), a Command Line Interface (CLI), and a pre-installed pypy with
ccc-gistemp. Feel free to test one or all of them. Feedback on the
interface and bugs are welcome.
The VM can be downloaded here:
http://susegallery.com/a/YfJVDT/ccc-gistemp
You'll need VirtualBox, VMware or any Virtual Machine "runner" that
can read the Open Virtualization Format (ovf). There is also the
possibility of a "test drive" online, but that has a limit (also, I
had my processes killed, I guess ccc-gistemp was too much for their
courtesy cpu cycles.)
How to run it:
1) For the GUI just go on "More Programs..." and click on the
ccc-gistemp icon. If you choose to open from the terminal type
"ccc-gistemp gui"
2) If you want the CLI, just create a new directory (that is your
project directory), enter it and type ccc-gistemp (or ccc-gistemp -s 0
for step 0 and etc.)
3) If you want speed you can try pypy*. First type pypy to enter the
prompt, and:
>>> from CCCgistemp.tool import run
>>>> run.main()
The VM image has a directory called "input-20110222" with this data:
http://ccc-gistemp.googlecode.com/files/ccc-gistemp-input-20110222.zip
You can use that to avoid downloading the latest data. Just copy that
directory to your project directory with the name "input".
* If you are using pypy be aware that the results are correct, but
there is a bug during the creation of the google chart url. Check the
attached figure, the right is the correct one and the left is pypy.
