Field In-Reply-To is not stored #8

Closed jgbarah closed 12 years ago

jgbarah commented 12 years ago

It seems MLStats is not storing the In-Reply-To field in the database. Any reason for that? I guess we could easily parse it, if present, which would allow for several kinds of studies, such as those related to threading.

[Thanks to Dave Neary for the idea]

It does. In-Reply-To is stored in the column is_response_of of the table messages. Why do we use that name for the column? I guess it is an Israel-ism :-)

I have built relations with threads in order to get the social network in mailing lists, so I know it works.

According to git blame pymlstats/analyzer.py it exists since 2007-03-15 17:51:13 +0000.

The name was my choice indeed :). The name is "is_response_of" in the "messages" table. It should be the second column in the messages table. See:

https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire/MailingListStats/blob/master/pymlstats/analyzer.py#L84 https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire/MailingListStats/blob/master/pymlstats/database.py#L355

If it is not being stored, that's a bug.

ok, now I understand why I didn't found it ;-)

Thanks!

No, it seems to be stored correctly. I just was looking for a field "in_reply_to" ;-)

Saludos,
