There's no tracking doing any of that.
the only thing we're getting information on is when a user contacts the mirror list cgi.
there's no package information contained therein.

RedHat do great work Posted Oct 15, 2006 22:27 UTC (Sun) by skvidal (subscriber, #3094) [Link] Change how? the structure of things - distributed out to mirrors is extremely prohibitive of this concept.
It's not impossible, but it'd be kinda silly to create a massive SPOF like that.

RedHat do great work Posted Oct 15, 2006 22:45 UTC (Sun) by liljencrantz (subscriber, #28458) [Link] Sorry, I was unclear. I didn't mean to suggest that the mirror distribution method should change. What I meant to ask was if the lack of information about what packages are downloaded could change in the future, since I, as an Extras maintainer, am curious about the number of users my package has.
This would probably imply that mirrors would need to send back some form of server logs to RH.
RedHat do great work Posted Oct 16, 2006 4:07 UTC (Mon) by skvidal (subscriber, #3094) [Link] speaking as a mirror for 6+ years I can assure you that getting the mirrors to feed back log information would be like pulling teeth.
painful and bloody.
