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.py 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 master.debian.org, you can find a
pre-processed popcon-entries directory in /home/apenwarr. 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 bunch of files named results.soemthing-or-other, with one
"results" file per Debian package section. 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).
