Re: Personal Dashboard on MetaCPAN

Hi Gabor (and all),

just to say thank you for your effort working on MetaCPAN. I find the dashboard
to be pretty nifty. Also thanks to Karen (ETHER) for her bug report, and
general CPAN awesomeness.

With warm regards,

 I think the bug reported by Karen was fixed.
 
 The load-time of the page is now related to the number of distributions you
 have, so if you have a lot,
 it might take a few seconds.

Cool!  It's neat to see bug counts tallied up all in one place  Are these
only from the official bugtracker (from the metadata)?  You might want to
add in RT counts anyway:  e.g. 2+10 - 2 from RT and 10 from the official
bugtracker.

Also - the title attribute is Search the CPAN but should be something
like MetaCPAN dashboard for ETHER.

I see another issue -- which seems to be rooted in a kwalitee metric
(licence not recognized) -- so I'll file a ticket with
Module-CPANTS-Analyse for it.

Nice job!

Thanks for the feedback. So far the bug count is whatever MetaCPAN has,
but
I am not exactly sure what does that mean. I certainly would like to show
the data
both from RT and the designated bugtracker of the distribution if they
are different.
I am not sure if MetaCPAN already has that data separately.

Both the license field and the repo-link field are fetched from MetaCPAN.
I don't think it uses CPANTS for that. So the bugreport should probably got
to MetaCPAN.

Gabor
ps. and if you have other ideas what to add to the dashboard, please let me
know.


Personal Dashboard on MetaCPAN

2014-05-12 Thread Gabor Szabo
Hi,

a while ago I started to create a dashboard on MetaCPAN.
If you are a CPAN author logged in to MetaCPAN you can
visit this page https://metacpan.org/lab/dashboard
to see two lists:
The list of your modules that don't have VCS in the META files
and the list of your modules that don't have a license fields in the META files.

It would be nice if you could check these out and point out items on
either of those lists that are incorrectly there.

I am planning - without any real schedule - to steal ideas from Neil Bowers
http://neilb.org/2014/03/10/cpan-dashboard.html
but it would be great if you, as module author could say what would be
useful for you?

regards
Gabor

Module-Metadata is flagged as missing repository metadata, but:

https://metacpan.org/source/ETHER/Module-Metadata-1.22/META.json#L53
https://metacpan.org/source/ETHER/Module-Metadata-1.22/META.yml#L35

There is some data there. ({repository}{url} was dropped in META.json
because the format I used didn't validate, but has been fixed in the
repository.)  Since metacpan still knows how to parse the data it sees,
what remains should be sufficient.  (You might want to check the metacpan
code to see what exact field(s) it looks for.)

More dashboards are great, for the authors that are clued in, but most of
us are already aware of things like this already. It's the authors that
aren't aware that are the problem. This is where the once-a-year reachout
to all authors will help.

Personally, I like the CPANTS/Kwalitee dashboard because I can see lots of
metrics all in one place. If at all possible, I'd prefer to add checks like
this as kwalitee metrics. (It doesn't look like there's a metric for the
resources metadata field; one could easily be added.)

I think after you log in with any of those accounts you can connect
your PAUSE account user to this
account in the identities: https://metacpan.org/account/identities
