Gentoo User Statistics -- what packages have you installed?

beandog

I've already written about this on my blog post and on the webpage itself, so I won't go into too many more details here.

I'm trying to collect statistics of what packages users have installed on their boxes, but I need user submissions to actually get any data.

Please check out http://stats.larrythecow.org/ for instructions on how to add yours, and thanks.

For the impatient:

curl -d "arch=$(uname -m)&packages=$(eix -I --only-names)" http://stats.larrythecow.org/

Made sticky to encourage production of shiny charts and graphs, which we know is what everyone really wants from this.

Thanks

We now have 341 entries.

Version numbers would be cool to see how many people go for unstable versions of certain packages, might give devs an idea which packages might be worth looking into :-)

Impatient to see the charts in the November gmn ? :mrgreen:

*reminder*

I'll submit my packages after emerging of kde-live (kde4.2pre from svn) has finished

good work, beandog

I'm curious what other useful packages there might be which I still haven't got

Sheesh, over 1000 uploads. Now I've just got to figure out what kind of stats I want to crunch. Any ideas?

Relations between packages: Which packages are installed together with which other packages most of the time?

For example via correlation of packages for each user: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation

Naturally the correlation for dependencies should be about 1.0 (if the package is installed, its dependencies are always installed, too), but what about other packages which people currently tediously search by hand?

If several packages (more than 2) are almost always installed together, it might be useful to create a set for them, so users can pull them in more conveniently.

Can you anonymise the data (i.e. IP -> hash over IP+time()) and publicize it, so we can play with it?
