Subject: [gentoo-dev] Package ranking by number of ebuilds on the portage tree
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:03:23
Message-Id: 508A7BBA.70905@gentoo.org
1 So I have been doing some bash scripting out of some comment in a
2 conversation to count (and rank) the packages by the number of ebuilds
3 they have (and thus of versions of said package). The results can be
4 seen at http://dev.gentoo.org/~klondike/ebuildrank.txt and if there is
5 interest I can try to automate the generation of the ranking daily
6 (though I'd like infra's comments on that).

8 As some extra candy I have calculated which is the percentage of
9 packages holding the same number of packages, it is impressive seeing
10 how more than 50% of the ebuilds have only 1 and more than 75% have two
11 or less! If I recall my stats classes the number of versions in a
12 package seems to follow some kind of poison distribution.
