Here are so many problems, technical, policy, resources, (others?). That
said, feedback in the form "How many users uses/installs my package"
would IMHO be a great input for any packager. It would be the difference
between dropping the package in a black hole vs getting a message back
from the community.
Lets face it: I envy those who can measure the usage from a download
counter or so. Can we have something similar?
Could we even give people a badge when users actually uses a package ?
(hrmpf :) )
Hi Alec,
there are some plans in Fedora to start collecting some stats. Maybe not on
the per-package level but at least on the per-product level. See [1] and [2]
for details.
Thanks
Jan
