Feature changed by: Claudio Freire (klaussfreire) Feature #306193, revision 18 Title: Provide download statistics in OBS Buildservice: Evaluation by project manager Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Carsten Hoeger (choeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be great to see how popular the packages are. That's an important feature especially for management people. Use Case: Manager John would like to see whether the investment in providing packages for the community did show any results. Is the community interested at all? Did the last press announcement result in increased download numbers? Discussion: #1: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2009-03-11 11:15:48) I think that https://features.opensuse.org/305877 is better solution for your usecase. Usage count is better than the download count. #2: Andrew Beekhof (beekhof) (2009-03-11 11:57:54) 305877 is also useful but I'd prefer the raw download numbers for the simple reason that it doesn't require user involvement. To add to the usecase, this feature allows us to know when to jettison both packages and build targets which: - reduces the load (both build and disk-space) on the OBS infrastructure - reduces the workload for maintainers #3: Carsten Hoeger (choeger) (2009-03-12 13:04:28) Yes, exactly. #4: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-02-20 11:02:04) The implementation for this is actually there, but it needs optimization work. Maybe even a redesign. + #5: Claudio Freire (klaussfreire) (2012-01-31 16:14:57) + What exactly does need an improvement/optimization? If I'm given a few + pointers, I could try to provide a patch, I'm interested in this + feature for the exact reasons given above. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306193
