Title:
Feature Freeze Exception: Recommender feedback (no UI change)
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Hello! We'd like to request a FFe for a small (but very useful)
feature that we'd like to add to Ubuntu Software Center. This is the
client-side implementation for the feature described in bug 944060.
Essentially, the feature works like this. If a person has opted-in to
receive recommendations in Software Center (and so has agreed to
upload a list of their installed packages to the recommender service
as a basis for their recommendations), we want to augment our ability
to improve our recommendations by signaling to the recommender service
whenever an item that has been recommended has actually been
installed. It's as simple as that. This kind of "implicit" feedback is
expected to be very useful in improving the quality of the
recommendations that we make.
Note that if the user has *not* opted in to the recommendations
service, no such call is ever made. This feature is inactive in that
case.
The feature is completely implemented in the back end and does not
involve any changes in the UI. The attached branch contains the code.
Note that there is a thorough unit test for the feature included in
the branch.
The risk of regression is pretty much negligible.
Once we have your approval we will merge the branch to USC trunk for
release in Quantal.
Many thanks!!
