<p dir="ltr">This sounds akin to apt (debian), emerge (gentoo), 'recommends'.<br>
Added functionality but not a functional dependency. Am I on mark with intention?</p>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I have two students interested in diploma thesis called Yum plugin for<br>
suggesting packages based on usage:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/18hrHbL" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/18hrHbL</a><br>
<br>
TL;DR - from anonymized access log, create a database of suggested<br>
packages using data mining techniques and provide a Yum plugin that<br>
would suggest "Users of vim also installed: ctags, git, ..."<br>
<br>
I am gonna create a Fedora Feature wiki page shortly describing this in<br>
more detail. Our goal is to offer this project for integration into<br>
Fedora later on, at least provide Fedora packages for it.<br>
<br>
To do that, we need good source of data. It would be best to collect<br>
access logs from one or two main Fedora mirrors. We would provide short<br>
script in Python that would parse access logs and anonymize the data (IP<br>
address hash-salted) and filtered only relevant data (RPM files from<br>
latest Fedora release or updates repositories). That would be phase one<br>
which should give us a sample data.<br>
<br>
Phase two would be to integrate this script with logrotate and for one<br>
Fedora release cycle (Fedora 19) the script would collect relevant<br>
anonymized data into a file. Final suggested package database would be<br>
created from this file (or maybe files to allow us to move them on the<br>
fly out of the stat directory).<br>
<br>
The big (legal) question is if we are able to provide this anonymized<br>
data to public, or if we want to sign NDA with all people involved. I am<br>
CCing Tom for this question.<br>
<br>
I need your help with connecting to relevant people. Any comments are<br>
appreciated.<br>
<br>
Many thanks and I hope this effort will lead to improving user<br>
experience with Fedora packaging.<br>
<br>

Later,<br>
