To run the vote counting scripts, you need several files:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
The votes archives for <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2002-November.txt.gz">
|
|
|
|
|
November</a> and <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2002-December.txt.gz">December</a>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
The list of <a href="registered-voters.txt">registered voters</a>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
The script to <a href="list-addresses.py">generate the addresses of the
|
|
|
|
|
voters</a>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
The script to <a href="vote-counter.py">count the votes</a>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
The <a href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a> that we applied to the
|
|
|
|
|
vote archives
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that you need python to run the scripts.

Here are the steps to obtain the results:

<pre>$ gunzip 2002-November.txt.gz 2002-December.txt.gz</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>$ cat 2002-November.txt 2002-December.txt > vote-archives.txt</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt > addresses.txt</pre>

|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be generated
|
|
|
|
|
at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors will
|
|
|
|
|
represent problems which are fixed later in the archive (manifested by
|
|
|
|
|
the voter having a counted ballot later in the results). The final
|
|
|
|
|
tallies will be at the bottom.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to replicate the posted results, you have to apply the diff
|
|
|
|
|
file before running the scripts:
