[Popcon-developers] How are the popcon-web/*.sections files generated?
The popcon.pl script used to generate all the web summaries seem to
read the following files
popcon-web/potato-nonUS.sections popcon-web/slink.sections
popcon-web/potato.sections popcon-web/woody-nonUS.sections
popcon-web/slink-nonUS.sections popcon-web/woody.sections
Here is an example from woody.sections:
3270-common non-free/net
3dchess games
3dwm-clock graphics
3dwm-csgclient graphics
How are these files generated? Should we make new ones for sarge and
etch?
Are these really needed? I suspect it is better to read the section
directly from the Packages file instead of hardcoding them on the
disk.
I found the files in
popcon.debian.org:/org/popcon.debian.org/popcon-web/, when trying to
replicate the popcon server part.
