Package: apt-xapian-index Version: 0.40 Severity: wishlist Hello,
when popularity-contest is installed, it will maintain a /var/log/popularity-contest file with the information gathered on the local system. Unless filesystems are mounted with noatime, which hopefully it's not that common now that we have relatime, that file contains very interesting information. From the popularity-contest(8) manpage: The popularity-contest command gathers information about Debian packages installed on the system, and prints the name of the most recently used executable program in that package as well as its last-accessed time (atime) and last-attribute-changed time (ctime) to stdout. As a use case example, see popcon-largest-unused(8): it is a tool shipped with popcon that will show what packages are using a lot of disk space and are rarely used. Bringing such data into apt-xapian-index means allowing packages to be filtered or sorted by "last use time". The plugin is simple to write and the data is already present in the local system.
