Dear Mark, thanks for your response and cooperation. For the evaluation of our research work, we would like to run experiments on the last 12 months activity on Tomcat project.
I would like to have the tomcat-dev archives of last 12 months (Aug2008 - Aug 2009). It would be even nicer if i can have 1 compressed file for one month instead of 1 compressed file for all 12 months, if it is possible. regarding the bugzilla database, it is OK to get the whole dump. It would be great if you upload it somewhere and let me download it from their. thanks for your cooperation and looking forward for your kind response. regards Aftab Iqbal -----Original Message----- From: Mark Thomas [mailto:ma...@apache.org] Sent: Mon 8/31/2009 8:50 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: maling list archives and bug tracker dumps for academic research evaluation Iqbal, Aftab wrote: > Hi, > > I am a PhD student at DERI (http://www.deri.ie), Galway, Ireland.

The Apache Infrastructure Team usually handles requests like this but since I am also a member of that team as well as a Tomcat committer I should be able to get this for you. Could you provide a time frame for the data you are interested in? To give you an idea of the volumes involved, in compressed form the complete dev archive is 121MB, the users archive 233MB and the announce archive 15KB. For the bugs it will be easier to give you a complete dump of the Bugzilla database. That was about 300MB (compressed) the last time I took a copy. The easiest thing for me to do is to put this somewhere under http://people.apache.org/~markt and let you download it.
