To run the vote counting scripts, you need to download this archive:
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="2004-10-verif.tar.gz">2004-10-verif.tar.gz</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that you need make, wget, perl and python to run the
|
|
|
|
|
verification.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
We advise every member to download the verification software and to
|
|
|
|
|
verify that his/her counted vote is indeed the vote he/she sent
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Running the verification</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the steps to obtain the results:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>$ tar zxvf 2004-10-verif.tar.gz</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>$ cd 2004-10-verif</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>$ make</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be generated
|
|
|
|
|
at the top of the output. The final tallies will be at the bottom.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>The verification software</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
With this verification software, you should get the same results that the
|
|
|
|
|
one posted by the GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee.
|
|
|
|
|
You may want to verify the validity of this software, so here are some
|
|
|
|
|
hints to help you:
|
|
|

</p>

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
look at registered-voters.txt: this file contains the list of voters.
|
|
|
|
|
You can match it with the <a href="voters.html">official list</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
look at vote-archives.diff: this file contains all the modifications
|
|
|
|
|
that are made to the original vote archives to make the script work
|
|
|
|
|
without any problem. The main modifications are due to UTF-8 problems
|
|
|
|
|
or some misplaced characters. Some spams are also removed from the
|
|
|
|
|
archives.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
look at vote-counter.py: this script does the counting. You can read
|
|
|
|
|
its code if you want to search for serious bugs that may alter the
|
|
|
|
|
results.
|
|
|

|
|
