The NeuroDebian project integrates and maintains a variety of software
projects within Debian that are useful for neuroscience (such as AFNI,
FSL, PsychoPy, etc.) or generic computation (such as HTCondor,
pandas, etc.).
.
This package is a complement to the generic popularity-contest
package to enable anonymous submission of usage statistics to
NeuroDebian in addition to the popcon submissions to the underlying
distribution (either Debian or Ubuntu) popcon server.
.
Participating in popcon is important for the following reasons:
* Popular packages receive more attention from developers; bugs are
fixed faster and updates are provided quicker.
* It ensures that support is not dropped for a previous release of
Debian or Ubuntu while there are active users.
* User statistics may be useful for upstream research software
developers seeking funding for continued development.
.
This requires that popcon is activated for the underlying distribution
(Debian or Ubuntu), which can be achieved by running
"dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest" as root.
