Every now and then someone get sick of Gentoo and suddenly became |
| 2 |
prophet, preaching that the end of the distro is near. |
| 3 |
I wanted to see how much should we worry about it so I've made a perl |
| 4 |
script to find the history of the following characteristics: |
| 5 |
- no. of active developers (active dev := did at least a commit in that |
| 6 |
month) |
| 7 |
- no. of commits / month |
| 8 |
The data and the perl script used to obtain it are available at |
| 9 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~mrness/gentoo-activity-2006-06/ . |

I am aware those characteristics are quantitative and don't say anything |
| 12 |
about the quality of the distribution. However, judging after those |
| 13 |
graphs, even the worst basher will recognize that we are far from being |
| 14 |
dead. |
