[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-14016) p2 download stats should only track a subset of features, with better context than feature name

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14016?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12767692#comment-12767692 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-14016:
------------------------------------

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_download_stats states that you can manually set values of OS/package/version/foo/bar/baz as you'd like, but querystring values appended to the end of the HEAD request URL are the same as path segments... and since our installer is universal (no platform specifics), and our update sites are similarly not platform specific, I don't see how we can pass in anything meaningful here. For the case of installed platform-specific fragments (eg., XulRunner) we can tell which OS is used because the fragment will state as much (x86, x86_64, macosx, cocoa, win32, gtk, linux). 

So... any suggestions for which IUs to track, if not ALL of them?

> We shouldn't track every feature - should review the list and also try add some more context than just the feature name if possible.

> Questions to discuss in order to flesh out this request:
> a) if not all, then which features? Where do we get the list? Do we need to parse the JBT aggregate site's category.xml and pull out all features from a particular category, such as the Core (Abridged) category?
> b) what context do you want instead?
