[gentoo-dev] compile time statistics

[Rutger Lubbers <ripat@xs4all.nl>]

People,

This mail is about a question. The question is "how long does package x.y.z 
take to compile on my machine?" Now my idea is, we have the emerge.log file 
and can obtain some data from it, so we might "predict" that compile time for 
that user.

To get a fairly good prediction I need data. To get data I perhaps need a 
prediction. Which needs data. So at the moment I don't know what to do. 

One part I have finished right now, I can get the compile times from the 
emerge.log and submit it to a central database (see http://ripat.xs4all.nl).
Some "basic" querying I can do too.

My questions to you is:
- would this be a nice feature to have?
- would you be willing to provide me with compile time statistics?
- do you have any hints / ideas what I can do to get this from a no dataless 
project to a data having project?

Thanks,


Rutger Lubbers
