Description Jonathan Riddell 2016-01-20 23:13:01 UTC

we'd like to get some idea of the number of installs
discover pings the release upgrade meta-release file every day
send a unique machine hash based on UUIDs or something so an install can be identified and counted to the meta-release request


Reproducible: Always

Shouldn't this be placed in PackageKit then?

What information do you want exactly? How often people upgrade? Just installations?

Comment 2 Jonathan Riddell 2016-10-03 13:57:38 UTC

I implemented this in the end by having a package post-install script to adjust the meta-release URL, I don't think there's anything for Discover to do here, closing
