Hackage statistics

1

Hi,

As a newcomer to maintaining packages in Hackage I have two questions regarding statistics.

  1. How often the download stats are updated?
  2. Is there a way to have access to statistics per package version?

I know a package have had a couple of downloads in the last days but the downloads statistics didn’t change.

Thanks

  1. The number of downloads is unreliable because of CDNs and such.
  2. I don’t think so.

Oh. Understandable. I would say that if the feature is not working and it hasn’t been a problem then it should be removed to avoid misleading package authors.

Before asking the question I checked hackage server code to try to find an answer and there is quite some code to make the stats work, yet they don’t because of the infrastructure.

The problem is know and apparently there was a plan to tackle it.

It has not materialised yet most likely because of resource scarcity.
