Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Welcome to the midterm report of the 'Package statistics' project[0]. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Summary |
| 6 |
======= |
| 7 |
The goal of this project is to implement a client-server architecture |
| 8 |
for reporting and querying package statistics of Gentoo based machines. |
| 9 |
The client program will be used to collect package statistics from |
| 10 |
Gentoo installations and submit them to a central server. The server |
| 11 |
will calculate useful statistics based on the global dataset, that |
| 12 |
developers as well as end users have access to, via an intuitive web |
| 13 |
interface. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
For the past few days, I've been working on the webUI, adding pages for stats. |
| 16 |
We've also managed to get the webapp running (finally :D) on vulture[1]. Thanks |
| 17 |
to my mentor antarus, robbat2, and the rest of the infra team for helping out. |
| 18 |
We hit a few snags, but managed to ease them out in the end. Also, apologies for |
| 19 |
making a stupid mistake of committing my mysql password to git (:P). |

|
| 21 |
What works |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
* Submitting host stats using a client script |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* Accessing host stats at /host/<uuid> |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
* Arch stats: /arch |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
* Package stats: |
| 30 |
/package/<category> |
| 31 |
/package/<category>/<pkgname> |
| 32 |
/package/<category>/<pkgname>-<version> |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
An optional ?top=N can be added to the url for the no. of top items. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
* Repository stats: /repo |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
* Keyword stats: /keyword |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
* Useflag stats: |
| 41 |
/use |
| 42 |
/use/<useflag> |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
* Portage FEATURES stats: /feature |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
* Language stats: /lang |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
* Mirror stats: /mirror |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
* Profile stats: /profile |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
What doesn't work (yet) |
| 53 |
======================= |
| 54 |
* Package search |
| 55 |
* Rating of packages |
| 56 |
* Graphs |
| 57 |
* Bugzilla, tinderbox integration |
| 58 |
* Export the stats to JSON |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
What needs work |
| 61 |
=============== |
| 62 |
* The webUI should be prettier |
| 63 |
* The repository and useflag stats could be improved |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
I think I can finish the remaining goals in another 2-3 weeks. After that, I'll |
| 66 |
consider working on some of my stretch goals. |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
I'm also working on improving the packages.gentoo.org api, so that there's an |
| 69 |
easy way to access the portage tree state, and enrich the package stats. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
Help me out by submitting your stats to the server. An ebuild for the client is |
| 72 |
available in the repo[2]. Please report bugs, exceptions etc. |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Got any feature suggestions/ideas ? |
