Package: popularity-contest Version: 1.64 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I'm the maintainer of lcdproc package. This package provides drivers for quite a lot of different HW. We (lcdproc team and I) don't really know which drivers are used and which are obsolete. Looks like we need a popularity-contest for the Driver configured in /etc/LCDd.conf, so that we'd have data to decide whether to maintain or drop a driver. One possibility would be to setup popcon to run a script provided by package maintainer to gather config data. ( '/etc/popcon.d/lcdproc' ?) In lcdproc case, the script would be 'grep Driver /etc/LCDd.conf' The next question are: - how to formalize the output of the script so popcon can parse it ? - how to provide package maintainer the statistics of the data gathered by the script ? Thoughts ? All the best *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages popularity-contest depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.58 ii dpkg 1.18.4 Versions of packages popularity-contest recommends: ii cron [cron-daemon] 3.0pl1-128 ii exim4 4.86-7 ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.86-7+b2 ii gnupg 1.4.20-4 Versions of packages popularity-contest suggests: ii anacron 2.3-23 -- debconf information: * popularity-contest/participate: true popularity-contest/submiturls:
