A couple of months ago, Adam Kennedy ask if it was possible for me to provide a summary of the reporting for each distribution/version available on CPAN. His goal to incorparate this into his CPANDB project, which is a pretty comprehensive look at CPAN gathering together data from a vareity of sources.

As I didn't record anything like that at the time, I felt it might be worth including. At the very least it might make the dynamic reports site a little easier to reference when anyone makes changes to the preferences.

Last week saw the first working version release, which you can now getr from the Development site. The SQLite database is available in Bzip2 and Gzip formats, and I'll look at adding LZMA when I have some time to set it up. The database is updated daily, and I'll look to make it more frequent as soon as the server settles down.

The Release Summary database contains a count of the PASS, FAIL, NA and UNKNOWN reports submitted for each distribution/version that has at least one report submitted for it. The counts are also ONLY attributed to reports that are for mature Perl versions, i.e. no reports for blead, patched or development releases of Perl are included.

I may look at providing the full Release Data database at some point, which includes all the flags for Perl maturity, Distribution Maturity, On CPAN and Patch Status. However, there are many other things on my TODO list at the moment, so I'll let you know when it's available. In the meantime, I hope you find the Release Summary useful.
