I’ve just uploaded (where ‘just’ is defined as “a little while ago”) popcon-historical to github. It’s a rather rudimentary way to look at the popcon data from Debian and Ubuntu over time. It loads all the data into a Drizzle<\/a> database and then has a small perl web-app to generate graphs (and CSV).<\/p>\n

I’ve also put up a project page on it: https:\/\/flamingspork.com\/popcon-historical\/<\/a><\/p>\n
