[opensuse-factory] details on users of packages etc
Heya, If you maintain or build a package in your home repo, you might be interested in knowing how many people download your package, how many update frequently, stuff like that. And that also goes for the devel projects - how many users do they have? We are thinking about making stuff like that visible. The question: what else would you want to know about your packages and their users? The most common star sign of your users we can't get but there's surely other things we can display ;-) And are there things you don't want to know? Hugs, J

Definitely a breakdown by repo (13.1, 12.2, Centos, etc.) Along those lines, adding a request button to the http://software.opensuse.org/search would be cool. ie. If I search for a package and find it for 12.3, but not 13.1, it would be cool if could issue a SR like request to add 13.1 to the repositories being built for. I realize that would impact the entire project the package lives in, but as a maintainer I would at least know there are users out there that wished I was building for other targets.

Great idea! Would also help up with new release as people will request adding new release probably even during beta for their packages so packagers will get notified that release is coming and they should add new target :-) -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
