Smolt is about to break!
Smolt 1.1 is going to be in your repos very soon. The old client will not work with the new server. There's a lot of changes in this release. The biggest is the separation of public and private UUID's. They used to be the same thing but on more. Thanks to some of the work done by Yaakov this is a pretty easy thing to do. Basically the private UUID stays on your box and you, the user, never really uses it.
This is to put some of the basic groundwork for our ultra-secure smolt client side. There is a new option in the smolt config "secure". It doesn't do much now but in the future, with proper selinux, it will be possible for admins to secure smolt in a way that just has not been possible in the past allowing for a much more anonymous submission as well as preventing even users with local access to the system access to smolt.
Also there's a little bit of randomization being built into the new script. This will make smolt more reliable on sending. Look for more graphs and metrics on the next release (including being able to view all those ratings you all have been doing!)
When the new version comes out, run smoltSendProfile -a and make sure to go in and rate your profile!

Their monthly send will come in but silently fail until they yum update. We'll have a good feel for how many people this is soon.

After a little look over the changes we made to the protocol. Only a few minor changes were required on the smolt server side and a few mod_rewrites were needed. So as it turns out. Smolt won't break :)

I running a test install of Fedora 9 and smolt is still using the hardware UUID. When will the new version of smolt be available for Fedora?
I have in the mean time I created a file with the public UUID and send updates via the command line.
