I simply used LibreOffice Calc to plot the graph, using historical
values derived from
http://popcon.ubuntu.com/main/translations/by_inst
It was pointed to me that we may need to interpret more carefully the numbers.
Can you all give input for the following?
1. This is the description of the numbers that PopCon provides:
#<name> is the package name;
#<inst> is the number of people who installed this package;
#<vote> is the number of people who use this package regularly;
#<old> is the number of people who installed, but don't use this package
# regularly;
#<recent> is the number of people who upgraded this package recently;
#<no-files> is the number of people whose entry didn't contain enough
# information (atime and ctime were 0).
2. Here is the line for Greek, as given by the PopCon website (above URL
language-pack-el-base 17646 1500 12065 126 3955 (Language
Pack Maintainers)
which means
17646: number of [unique computers] who installed this package EVER
[when was PopCon first made available?]
1500: number of [unique computers] who use this package regularly [DEFINE?]
12065: install but not use regularly [DEFINE?]
126: number of [unique computers] that upgraded recently [How
is recent calculated?]
3955: number of [unique computers] that somehow did not provide
usage information. [What does this mean?]
3. You can run 'popularity-content' manually, and you get the output
printed on your screen (it is not sent).
You simply run
/usr/sbin/popularity-contest
For 'language-pack-el' it says
1301743371 1301585463 language-pack-el-base
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/langpack-el at firefox.mozilla.org.xpi
1301689879 1301605804 libreoffice-l10n-el
/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/resource/fps_officeel.res
<RECENT-CTIME>
0 0 language-pack-el <NOFILES>
0 0 language-pack-gnome-el <NOFILES>
0 0 myspell-el-gr <NOFILES>
0 0 gnome-user-guide-el <NOFILES>
0 0 language-support-writing-el <NOFILES>
0 0 libreoffice-help-el <NOFILES>
0 0 language-support-el <NOFILES>
0 0 language-pack-gnome-el-base <NOFILES>
0 0 language-support-fonts-el <NOFILES>
The first two columns are 'epoch times' that you can convert to normal
times with http://www.epochconverter.com/
I understand that I can get more information if I look closely to the
'popularity-content' source code and do more tests.
It would be great if someone could compare with their system and build
on the above, and add more answers.
