mozilla related packages are all over the graph

Open chhantyal opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

As of today, there are 12 mozilla related packages in the graph http://py3readiness.org/ as these packages have large number of downloads on PyPi.

I am not sure if anyone outside Mozilla uses these packages. If people outside Mozilla don't use these, there is no point in showing them here. There is already a mechanism to override a package, and we could just put them there.

It looks like all those packages with moz prefix are related to Mozilla test infrastructure and they might be downloading/installing frequently while running tests.

I am opening this issue hoping to get some input from Mozilla Devs or someone who knows about it.

Ping Python devs at @mozilla/gecko-dev

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172744; we're interested in where this is coming from also.

Thank you for your input. I will follow that thread.

For now, I will remove these packages from graph as it's quite clear that download stat for them don't show actual popularity within community.

If anyone has any concern, I will keep this issue open. Please feel free to comment here.
