[rancid] eliminating noise

[Wayne Eisenberg]

Hey all,

Does anyone have any ideas on how we can modify rancid to ignore minor differences in things like fan speed and temperature? See the below:

- ! External Temperature............................. +29 C
+ ! External Temperature............................. +28 C

-  ! Fan Status....................................... 3432 rpm
+ ! Fan Status....................................... 3301 rpm

These two items create a lot of noise. The temperature changes by 1 or 2 degrees - very insignificant, but it gets caught by diff. The same with the fan speed. Any character change trips the diff. +/- 10% or greater is a more reasonable change to note. But I don't know how to modify the scripts to do that comparison. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Wayne
