[Popcon-developers] support for multiple submission to multiple popcon servers

[ballombe@debian.org (Bill Allombert)]

Dear popular developers,

Two proposals:

(By myself): in /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest,
replace --keyring "$KEYRING" -r "$POPCONKEY"
by      --keyring $KEYRING -r $POPCONKEY

This allows KEYRING to be set to "keyring1 --keyring keyring2",
and POPCONKEY to be set to "keyid1 -r keyid2", so it is possible
to encrypt with several public keys at once.

A more elegant suggestion 

(By Yaroslav) Support for a /etc/popularity-contest.d directory
with *.conf files that will be sourced by 
/etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest
So a package (in a Debian based distribution) can add a file to
/etc/popularity-contest.d to change to popcon configuration,
for example by adding:

SUBMITURLS="$SUBMITURLS http://myurl";

The issue is that the order of the files matters, so we need
to read /etc/popularity-contest.d in a fixed order.

Comments and suggestion ?

Cheers,
