KDE3 has 12 million downloads with 450 packages and hence 27,000 downloads per package.
This is incorrect. I think the most packages are not used at all (like kde3-kmameleon) while the packages like kdebase3 are the most popular. No user needs all KDE:KDE3 packages.
As mentioned already this would apply to all other repos as well. See below and my other replies.
No. MOST packages in KDE:KDE3 are not used by the majority of KDE3 repository users.
It is incorrect to devide by the number of packages.
Because it does not fit your needs? Any evidence that disregarding the number of packages is more valid?
Why do you assume that any user downloaded each of 480 packages in those three weeks? This is nonsence! - because only a minority of packages were updated in three weeks so that even if somebody has installed all 480 packages they would not update all - because there are many packages that contain only one window decorartion style and there is no reason in installing all window decorations for anybody - because there are many users who use another desktop and only use one KDE3 application such as amarok or kmail. - because the KDE3 applications go in boundles like kdenetwork and kdepim and each bundle contains most of what an average user would need. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
