I know about the numbers behind this, but not what generates the graphs etc.

cc @mattdm ?

This is done via a set of scripts not attached to the work James has been doing. The older data graphs were were to be end-of-lifed around Fedora 40 and replaced with ones generated weekly from the dnf countme data.

The scripts are a python and awk which do a rough count of 1 entry per arch, release,ip/day and then writes out a csv file. That csv file is then run against some rough gnuplot graphs which get updated daily.

All of these were really a short term hack which turned into a permanent solution so updating to newer releases requires a lot of manual hacking of scripts, gnuplot graphs and the existing CSV files to deal with the newer data. At the moment the only data I would consider it useful for is the EPEL-6,8,9 numbers and historical data for other items.

A better solution would be to finish the 'make a graph every week from the countme data' project and keep an older set of pictures with an end-date of when they were last valid (Jun 2024?).

The hacky stuff appears to be under roles/web-data-analysis/files/
Perhaps it's not hard to just add 40+ for now?

Or perhaps someone can finish the new thing... but I don't even know the status of that? was someone working on it?

I thought that the new thing is already finished and running.

Last year, I was playing with a rewrite of https://pagure.io/brontosaurusifier which includes a frontend for the graphs. I didn't finish it then, but (obviously) I kep the code and it probably wouldn't be hard to wrap it up. I could make PR for stg or communishift, if people want me to push on with it.

It would be nice to have for sure...

9 months later.... anyone willing to look into what it would take to finish off the new one or just trivially add 40+ to the hacky one?
