Hi,

I've uploaded new images for hx4700 and h2200 to unstable/autobuild
together with some statistical info on those images. Each image has a
'testlab' subdir like

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/hx4700/Angstrom-minimalist-gpe-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r1-hx4700-testlab/

Which holds a few files:

* depends*dot: Files in the DOT syntax that you can run through 'dot' to
make svgs and pngs. Usefull for tracking deps[1][2]
* image-dependencies*png: pngs of above .dot files
* installed-package-sizes.txt: a list of packages and their size[3].

Although it's fairly trivial to generate such things it makes debugging
problems like [2] a lot easier. The next step is to put selected bits in
a database so we can say "gtk+ grew 10% in size over the last 2 years"
or answer questions like "base-image now ship 6 extra packages compared
to last month, where do those dependencies come from?".

Do you think it's usefull information to upload to the autobuild area or
should the autobuilder only upload images and kernels?

regards,

Koen
