Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071128 Iceweasel/2.0.0.11 (Debian-2.0.0.11-1)
Build Identifier: 

The SpreadFirefox counter feeds should have different counters for each release / platform. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look at http://feeds.spreadfirefox.com/downloads/firefox.xml, http://feeds.spreadfirefox.com/downloads/thunderbird.xml or http://feeds.spreadfirefox.com/downloads/suite.xml
Actual Results:  
They only contain the number of downloads since their 1.0 release

Expected Results:  
An entry for each release/platform, in addition to the total number.

At Firefox Statistics I would like to be able to tell the difference between the versions, to remove the guessing factor in the future.

The release/product download counters may be placed in another feed, to save some traffic.

Thanks for flagging this Asbjørn - I'm reassigning this to Mozilla Stats for review.

These feeds are provided by AUS I believe

It seams like it's running at osadm01, and according to Asa it doesn't have anything to do with AUS.

I think he was referencing bug #364015 (the only other bug which mentions osadm).

Sorry for mis-quoting Asa, my clipboard got corrupted in the process.

Here is the actual quote:
> Donny, I don't count downloads that came from the auto-update system.
> 
> - A

But the essence is basically the same, the wrong quote was just what I wrote before I found the documentation from Asa's blog.

This bug should be reassigned to Mozilla Stats again, or another more relevant product.

Comment 7

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

This is probably a webdev thing, except webdev doesn't have a generic product for them....
