NAME

       pp_popcon_cnt - PredictProtein popularity contest usage counter

SYNOPSIS

       pp_popcon_cnt [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       The pp-popularity-contest package sets up a cron job that will periodically anonymously submit to the Rost Lab developers statistics about
       the most used Rost Lab packages on this system.

       This information helps us making decisions such as which packages should receive high priority when fixing bugs.  It also helps us decide
       which packages should receive funding for further development and support.  This information is also very important when the Rost Lab
       applies for funding.

       Without the funding we receive based on the usage statistics you volunteer none of the packages on this image could be made available to
       you at no cost.

       This binary collects the number of times a method was used.

OPTIONS

NAME

       popularity-contest - list the most popular Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       popularity-contest

DESCRIPTION

       The  popularity-contest command gathers information about Debian packages installed on the system, and prints the name of the most recently
       used executable program in that package as well as its last-accessed time (atime) and last-attribute-changed time (ctime) to stdout.

       When aggregated with the output of popularity-contest from many other systems, this information is valuable  because  it  can  be  used	to
       determine  which  Debian  packages are commonly installed, used, or installed and never used.  This helps Debian maintainers make decisions
       such as	which packages should be installed by default on new systems.

       The resulting statistic is available from the project home page https://popcon.debian.org/.

       Normally, popularity-contest is run from a cron(8) job, /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest, which  automatically  submits  the  results	to
       Debian  package	maintainers  (only  once  a week) according to the settings in /etc/popularity-contest.conf and /usr/share/popularity-con-
       test/default.conf.
