This directory contains some scripts used to post-process popularity-contest
|
|
|
|
|
entries. You should have a lot of submissions from different users (at
|
|
|
|
|
least 100 of them, if possible) for these results to be valid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To collect results, use procmail or some other mail alias to e-mail
|
|
|
|
|
submissions to a file called, say, new-popcon-entries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should run popcon-process.sh once a day, or so. It calls prepop.pl to
|
|
|
|
|
split the mailbox file into a directory (popcon-entries) with one file per
|
|
|
|
|
submission, and only one submission per participant. (Since each
|
|
|
|
|
participant makes a submission only once per day, it's very important to
|
|
|
|
|
remove duplicates.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
HINT: if you have an account on popcon.debian.org, you can find a pre-processed
|
|
|
|
|
popcon-entries directory in /org/popcon.debian.org/popcon-mail. Feel free to
|
|
|
|
|
use these files to generate your own statistics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can do, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cat popcon-entries/*/* | popanal.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which creates a file named results. Output lines look like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<name> <vote> <old> <recent-ctime> <no-files>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<name> is the package name;
|
|
|
|
|
<vote> is the number of people who use this package regularly;
|
|
|
|
|
<old> is the number of people who installed, but don't use this package
|
|
|
|
|
regularly;
|
|
|
|
|
<recent-ctime> is the number of people who upgraded this package recently;
|
|
|
|
|
<no-files> is the number of people whose entry didn't contain enough
|
|
|
|
|
information (atime and ctime were 0).
