1 Hi again everyone,
2
3 Could you also include, with your data, the packages that you maintain
4 (I forgot to request that info).

19 Hi everyone,
20
21 I am attempting to gather data for my Simulation course at Columbia
22 University. The data will be used for my Simulation project where my
23 aim is to estimate the work load of developers related to the
24 maintenance of the portage tree. The Simulation will generate fake
25 package releases and bug reports in simulation time, and compute the
26 number of hours each developer spends working as well as other
27 interesting information.
28
29 There are two pieces of data that I am attempting to gather:
30
31 1) emerge.logs from all developers maintaining packages (to determine
32 the respective compile times of all maintained packages in portage
33 tree), preferably multiple ones from each (to gauge the effect of
34 multiple workstations).
35
36 2) A rough estimate from all developers maintaining packages of how
37 many times they have to recompile (i.e. test their ebuilds) a package
38 before committing a new ebuild.
39
40 The more data I can collect, the more accurate the Simulation will be.
41 Thank you all in advance for your cooperation. And thank you for
42 spending the time making a great distribution.

44 Best regards,
