I have 3 64bit machines and 1 32 bit machine to submit... all at home, I take it I should submit one per day ?

Ooo-er I see a fight coming

What I'm wondering about is that a first skim over the data shows that 100% of the users have pkgstats installed... even with a vibrant community like arch, thats very improbable...

Pierre · 2008-11-08 11:36:45

strange; so nobody is using telnet to manually commit the data?

SilvioTO · 2008-11-08 12:07:26

Great idea, I submitted my laptop and tomorrow my desktop...

ogronom · 2008-11-08 15:09:34

Please post 'top 50 packages'

That would be covered by the groups "base" + "base-devel" from my guessing...

ogronom · 2008-11-08 15:27:11

than the next 50

I have a dynamic IP address. So what happens if I run pkgstats today, and then two days from now? Will my set-up be counted twice?

If this is the case, how would we work to prevent <insert favourite multiple here>-counting?

I like this idea, great! But I think that recognize a single poc would be usefull. You don't have to store IDs or username, you can md5 some unique data, like mac address ok the ethernet card and save it to the server. Something like this:

ifconfig -a | head -n 1 | awk '{print $5}' | md5sum

With this you send minimal amount of data, you do not know who is sending and no ids are stored on the pc, but you can recognize the pc when it sends data.

With something like this you can know that all sent data correspond to a single machine, and you update statistics of that machine when it sends them. I think it would be usefull, hope I helped

Total submitters vs. registered users should be interesting...

Nice idea, but I don't think that the MAC Address of my ipsec interface is really unique.

I agree.

I think all phrak wanted to express is "Arch first".

Nice programm, Pierre. Just submitted my desktop, let's see if I can manage my AA1 too (dynamic IP ^^).

jelly · 2008-11-09 09:44:27

I just submitted my desktop two, are the stats goin to be posted? Some things would be interesting top packages ofcourse, submitters vs. registerd users, users vs pc's:cool:

Daenyth · 2008-11-09 15:45:12

How many machines have pkgtools installed?

xelados · 2008-11-09 16:12:27

Awesome idea. Count me in.

BabyDoc · 2008-11-09 17:11:28

Submitted my desktop earlier today.

What I find really interesting is that about 70% of x86_64 users have a lib32 setup.

I'll bet at least 2/3 of those packages are dependencies of Flash 10.

creslin · 2008-11-09 18:47:51

Wonder how this happened.. pkgstats 99.76 %

skottish · 2008-11-09 18:50:08

25% have Openbox installed. The rumors of Openbox being the arising de facto standard of Arch may be so far fetched.

Whats the bet Pierre ran his own copy of the script without the package installed?

creslin · 2008-11-09 19:02:08

Ah, of course.

Arch Linux
