Neat! I like this a lot. I can see this being particularly useful once we have enough data to have graphs that cover longer periods of time. > I think it would be a good idea to display the graphs at lintian.d.o, > but I'm not sure how: integrating it into lintian/reporting, or > running it as an external service (e.g. cron job on alioth.d.o). I think integrating it into lintian/reporting makes the most sense. We can then generate the graphs as part of the HTML generation run. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
