Sourcefinder Changelog 15 March 2017

[Newshound]

Fixed an internal issue with the file deleter not removing old wu files.



EDIT: I was testing out a new validator for this batch, but it's causing issues so I've had to revert back to the old validator.



I'm currently doing a local run of all 7000 test work units (which will probably take a while...) so we have a set of known correct results to compare the project's results to. This way we can get a much more accurate estimate of the correctness of the results.



I also found out that somehow, only 2000 of the 7000 work units were sent out last week. Don't know how that happened, but you'll be getting all 7000 this time :)



This weeks statistics:

Total Cubes: 1968
Total Results: 4164
Total Canonical Results: 1848. 93.9024390244%
Average Results Per Cube: 2.11585365854

Good Results: 3940. 94.6205571566%
Bad Results: 224. 5.37944284342%

Client Bad: 210. 5.04322766571%
Client InProgress: 14. 0.336215177714%
Client Good: 3940. 94.6205571566%

Server Inactive: 0. 0.0%
Server Unsent: 0. 0.0%
Server InProgress: 120. 2.8818443804%
Server Over: 4044. 97.1181556196%
We actually have a slightly higher percentage of good results this time (about 1%) which is good.

We're still aiming to get that up to 95% though.



Additionally, I'm wondering if it would be worth investing the time in a version of this project that doesn't use virtualbox. Currently, vboxwrapper and virtualbox issues have been the biggest causes of errors for this project, and a lot of that might be able to be solved by simply bypassing virtualbox all together and just having some native binaries for each platform.

The actual core of the client is written in Python, but I believe I can compile that to a binary using Cython (or a similar tool).

What do you all think, is it worth trying a non-virtualbox approach to avoid the problems we've been having?
