Barometz is a project I started, with Ricardo's help, over a year ago which has been dormant for the majority of that period, neither of us finding any time and/or enthusiasm for it, until this morning.

Barometz is intended to be a CVS statistics generator which outputs textual data accompanied by pie charts. It is (pre-)pre-alpha at present. It does produce output, but the data is pretty shaky and inaccurate in places, and the format is not too comfortable. Its creation was inspired by StatCVS, which we use to generate statistics for the Sylpheed-Claws project, but StatCVS is not too great at dealing with CVS branches, which is not good for the Claws project, as all the focus is now on the gtk2 branch, and we can only generate statistics for HEAD, the gtk1 code. StatCVS is also written in java, which I am not fond of. Hence the creation of Barometz, written in perl and can deal with CVS branch logs.

I fixed a bug in Barometz this morning and created some statistics for the Claws gtk2 branch, not completely accurate, lacking navigation, but, at this point, better than nothing - better than nothing, but not nearly good enough to use on the Claws site. The pages can be viewed here: www.thewildbeast.co.uk/barometz/sylpheed-claws/gtk2_cvs_stats/

Who knows, I might even work some more on Barometz in the coming days.
