Bug#448532: State of the piwik package

["W. Martin Borgert" <debacle@debian.org>]

Hi,

I just looked at the control file and changelog in collab-maint
and have some comments:

 - the latest version of piwik is 1.10.1, please update
 - I'm not seeing any closed source parts anymore, so let's
   change non-free/web to web
 - the SWFs can probably ignored, nobody has flash installed/
   enabled anyway, nowadays :~) thanks jqplot.js
 - you mention open source and GPL in the description, which is
   redundant inside Debian main; I suggest for the short
   description e.g. "real time web analytics application" and for
   the long one from Wikipedia:
   "Piwik tracks online visits to one or more websites and
   displays reports on these visits for analysis.
   Piwik displays reports regarding the geographic location
   of visits, the source of visits (i.e. whether they came
   from a website, directly, or something else), the
   technical capabilities of visitors (browser, screen size,
   operating system, etc.), what the visitors did (pages
   they viewed, actions they took, how they left), the time
   of visits and more."
   Not sure, whether this is better.

I wonder, whether piwik will be difficult to maintain. They seem
to release a new version about once a month. But will security
fixes be backported to a version in a stable Debian release?

Cheers and many thanks for working on this!
