SF Status pages: bug fix
Just wanted to let you guys know about a bug fix on the status pages for the SF data. Each project has a "status" (i.e. beta, alpha, production, etc). We were under the impression that each project only had a single status (we assumed this represented the project's "current" status), but this turned out not to be the case.
Our code was therefore erroneously grabbing only the first of a possible list of status codes. Consequently, some projects that had multiple status codes were not shown correctly.
I have gone into the June 2007 and April 2007 data and made the corrections, and I'll get to the older data sets at some point. (Let me know if this is a high priority for you and I'll try to get to them faster.) Obviously, the upcoming August data set will now be run correctly.
When looking through the old packages, you'll want to look for the files marked ".fixed.bz2".
