- Add a test suite
There is currently no kind of test suite or regression tests. Something like
that is badly needed.
+ - separate directories (bin, config, ...)
+ - make NewsStats installable in accordance with LFS and customary procedures,
+ i.e. scripts to /usr/local/news/bin or /usr/lib/news/bin, configuration
+ to /usr/local/news/etc or /etc/news and so on
* Additional features
- Add hierarchy information (GroupInfo - Bugs #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 #25 #26)
- Add other reports
NewsStats should include some other kinds of reports (stats on used clients,
on postings hosts/servers, ...)
+ - Add tools for database management
+ NewsStats should offer tools e.g. to inject postings into the 'raw' database,
+ or to split databases.
* Individual improvements
+ NewsStats.pm
names - would be nice.
+ install/install.pl
+ - Check installer & fix bugs to get a working version ... finally
+ - Read current version from a file dropped and updated by installer
- Add / enhance / test error handling
- General tests and optimisations
- General tests and optimisations
+ groupstats.pl
- - output: fix formatting - GetMaxLength does not work for special queries
- like -l or -b
- - beautify output (formats / captions)
- - -a: improve code - it doesn't make that much sense to get first/last
- month from database just to query that same database with a time period
- that equals no time period ... this part of the WHERE clause should be
- dropped instead
- better modularisation (code reuse for other reports!)
