One additional metric which I'd like to see is the raw number of yum check-ins per week regardless of ip-addresses as an historic trend. As a stand alone metric its prone to both over and under counting like the other metrics but in a different way. It would be interesting to see if the raw yum check-in counts as an historic trend followed the download trending or the unique-ip trending. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
