How many packages are in Arch Linux?

Just out of pure boredom and curiosity's sake, how many packages are in all the repositories of Arch Linux?  Ever since I began using this distro, the amount of packages offered has increased to amazing amounts.  Plus it helps when converting people to Arch to tell them about how much of a package selection the distro has.

I'm sure if you sat, thought a little bit, and used the tools at hand you could figure it out yourself.  You're bored after all.

kritoke,

This is why we were reluctant to appoint Xentac to that diplomatic post  in Madrid.   smile

Re: How many packages are in Arch Linux?

at the time of this post i've counted 1009 pkgs into current/unofficial/unstable trees..

im not counting incoming pkgs as arch pkgs because they still do not pass the test stage or the related developers (sarah and me) aproval.

Re: How many packages are in Arch Linux?

Cool.  I think it would be kind of nice if there could be some mention of that when looking through the packages, maybe like a count of how many packages were in official, unstable, or unofficial.

Don't forget to post your PKGBUILD in your thread when you announce a new package in incoming.
