Hi everyone,

This is the fifth progress report of the `Package statistics`
project[0].

Summary
=======
The goal of this project is to implement a client-server architecture
for reporting and querying package statistics of Gentoo based machines.
The client program will be used to collect package statistics from
Gentoo installations and submit them to a central server. The server
will calculate useful statistics based on the global dataset, that
developers as well as end users have access to, via an intuitive web
interface.

Past week progress
==================
I'm getting the webapp ready to be deployed on vulture.

* Wrote tests for the server
* Updated the code to use HTTPS rather than HTTP
* Deployed the webapp locally using apache and mod_wsgi, configs are
  attached on bugzilla[1]

Issues
======
* I had mentioned compression as one of my goals in my last progress
  report. But after discussion, I'm postponing this goal until a beta
  server is up and running (since it could be done internally, or using
  mod_deflate on apache)

Goals for next week(s)
======================
I'm going to concentrate mostly on the webUI now, adding more features,
fixing up the webpages etc.

* Improve/fix the stats pages
* Allow user login/session management etc.
