Are the Metrics/Quality Indexes working?

Report

What did you do?

Submitted a new Pod version.

What did you expect to happen?

The metrics get updated to the new version sent.

What happened instead?

All the metrics used for the quality index are frozen on the first version of the pod. This is misleading and turns all the quality index not trustful and favourable to old Pods with the metrics.

Almost everything around quality metrics seems to be broken.
I've nerver had any working stats since I published my pod in March or so.

• Broken: https://cocoapods.org/pods/SwiftObserver/quality
• Broken: https://cocoapods.org/pods/SwiftObserver
• Broken: http://metrics.cocoapods.org/api/v1/pods/SwiftObserver
• Broken: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/SwiftObserver/5.0.1/stats.json
• Broken: http://api.cocoadocs.org:4567/redeploy/SwiftObserver/latest

Hey there, yeah - CocoaDocs was shut down in May 2017, and the replacement for it doesn't do quality indexes. So. I removed links to the quality overviews from the web front-end but not removed the API routes etc.

I don't have time for maintaining all these things anymore, and no-one else has taken the mantle.

I guess we should also just kill the GitHub stats from the front-end too, as that's also pretty much unmaintained and not keeping up to date (no-one else has looked at fixing it)

So, the GitHub stats looks broken, everything else is documented as not existing anymore

@orta Thanks for taking the time to give some clarification! :)

That means that all stats should then be removed from the pod documentation pages on cocoapods.org, right? Otherwise they'd be kinda misleading and certainly not comparable ...
