🌸 NAME 🌸

Config::Model::models::PopCon — it's the configuration class PopCon, bestie. Yes, this is a 3pm page, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and we're about to read the whole thing together, no skimming, no cap. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Configuration classes used by Config::Model. That's the whole vibe. She's a model class. She models config. Periodt.

🫶 Elements 🫶

Okay so here's where it gets juicy — every element of this config, one by one, with all her defaults and types and little secrets. 💅

💌 PARTICIPATE

If you don't wanna participate in the contest, just say "no" and we won't send messages. That's it, that's the deal. 🎀 Optional. Type: boolean.

upstream_default value:

0

🔐 ENCRYPT — support for encrypted submissions

Encrypt popcon submission. Eventually this feature will be enabled by default — so like, it's coming, bestie, it's on the way. ✨ Optional. Type: enum. choice: 'no', 'maybe', 'yes'.

upstream_default value:

no

Here are some explanations on the possible values, because the enum said "let me explain":

  • 'maybe' — encrypt if gpg is available 🫣
  • 'yes' — try to encrypt and fail if gpg is not available 💀

📧 MAILTO — survey e-mail

Specifies the address to e-mail statistics to each week. Optional. Type: uniline.

upstream_default value:

survey@popcon.debian.org

✉️ MAILFROM — forged sender email address

MAILFROM is the forged sender email address you want to use in email submitted to the popularity-contest. Yes, forged, she said what she said. 👑

If this is commented out, no From: or Sender: lines will be added to the outgoing mail, and it will be your MTA's job to add them. This is usually what you want. 🌈

If your MTA is misconfigured or impossible to configure correctly, and it always generates invalid From: and/or Sender: lines, you can force different results by setting MAILFROM here. This can cause problems with spam bouncers, so most people should leave it commented out. Not me warning you twice, but like… warning you twice. 🚨 Optional. Type: uniline.

🌐 SUBMITURLS — list of urls to submit data to

Space separated list of where to submit popularity-contest reports using http. Optional. Type: uniline.

upstream_default value:

http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi

🛰️ USEHTTP

enables http reporting. Set this to 'yes' to enable it. That's the whole instruction, bestie, go off. Optional. Type: boolean.

upstream_default value:

1

🧚 HTTP_PROXY

Allows one to specify an HTTP proxy server, the syntax is "http://proxy:port". This overrides the environment variable http_proxy. 💜 Optional. Type: uniline.

🤫 MY_HOSTID

Secret number that the popularity-contest receiver uses to keep track of your submissions. Whenever you send in a new entry, it overwrites the last one that had the same HOSTID. It's giving main character with a hidden identity, honestly. 🕵️♀️

This key was generated automatically so you should normally just leave it alone. Like, hands off, girl. 🙈 Optional. Type: uniline.

📅 DAY — day of week

Only run on the given day, to spread the load on the server a bit. 0 is Sunday, 6 is Saturday. Optional. Type: integer.
