Count yum downloads

jakev383 · 11-23-2007, 04:36 PM

I am setting up a yum repo for one of the projects that I've been working on for a while now. I've been using a PHP script to track the number of times my package (noarch.RPM) has been downloaded but this of course fails with my yum repo. Is there a way to track how many times someone installs/updates a package with yum?
Thanks.

As a repository is exposed to http clients can you not use the web server logs to count how many times a package has been accessed?

Looking at the logs, yes I can. Didn't think of that one.
Now, does anyone have a "canned" script to do this already? If not, I'll whack something out next weekend.
