Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Download stats for p2

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have some questions about this ...
(someone asked me, and I thought ".. surely its documented ..."
:)

One technical question, and some suggestions
or questions to 
use some "conventions" to
make sense of resulting data ... 

There appears to be two "variable"
parts that users have to set, according to the directions at 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_download_stats

1) http://your.stats.server/stats
2)test.plugin.1.bundle
 
I assume the first part (for eclipse components) should
be, literally, 

http://download.eclipse.org/stats

right? 

And, the second part, would best be of some form of


<eclipse project namespace>.<tracked item>.<some
version info>
such as 
org.eclipse.wtp.xmlfeature.helios.sr0
or similar, right? 

and the webmasters at some point will tabulate what's
in logs, that are 
head requests to http://download.eclipse.org/stats

Or, have I gotten the wrong idea? 

The more technical question, the directions say,  "You
can pick one plugin in your feature for example "
Does it have to be a plugin? Could it not be the "...feature.group"?

Was there a reason the instructions say "plugin"?
For example, is there a trick to include
a "tracking plugin" in a feature? 

Thanks much,

Just a reminder to those projects who want download stats
from p2 downloads ...  You need to enable it on your repository.  So
far I haven't seen any stats hits to our download servers, so I'm hoping
those projects won't wait until June 22 to try this out.

Thanks!
