7272 should actually e-mail us (metche AT lists DOT riseup DOT net) the output

7474 information), and some information about the metche version you're running.

76 7. metche does not send us any report
77
78 It could be an e-mail problem, but, more probably, one of your installed
79 programs violates the FHS and writes one or more ever-changing files in /etc
80 instead of /var. This prevents metche of turning any "unstable" state into
81 a "testing" state, and therefore to send you any report.
82 You can diagnose this by asking metche to generate a report against a recent
83 unstable state, such as '# metche report unstable-latest'. If the output
84 contains changed files you don't want to monitor, such as status files, add
85 them to your EXCLUDES option in metche.conf, and wait.
