Good evening!

The update this week brings us the system data gathering module along with some sub-modules for various information to be gathered for the system.

The concept envisioned is something like this: there will be a 'gather.d/' folder, where programs can install their own relevant data gathering modules. At the moment, we have these: lsmod, uname, release, cpu-model, amount of RAM and video card model.

These small modules parse the relevant data from the corresponding locations and all the data gets put together in a dictionary by gather.py. We opted for this version because we can use the dictionary to export the data as JSON, or ini-style, or whatever feels appropriate. Also, because of this, the data will be easily parseable for the maintainers who read our bug reports.

As usual, you can find the code here: https://github.com/mihneadb/Suse-Bug-Reporter

Will get back to you next week! (last week with exams) Mihnea DB
