[arch-dev-public] Fwd: Archlinux Usage Statistics

[Aaron Griffin]

Hi Philipp,

I'm going to forward this message to our public developer mailing list. I
didn't actually have any part in the pkgstats utility, so am unaware of a
lot of the details.

Hopefully someone else can answer.

Cheers,
Aaron

Dear all,

my name is Philipp Jovanovic and I am a researcher at EPFL’s Decentralized
and Distributed Systems lab. Currently our team is working on a new
framework to improve security of software updates. I saw that Archlinux has
a pkgstats package [1] that allows to collected anonymised user statistics
which were probably used to generated [2] and [3]? We would be very much
interested in what exactly you did collect over the years and if there is
any possibility to get a copy of the data to help evaluate our new
framework?

Thank you very much in advance!

Kind regards,
Philipp Jovanovic
