The impression I got about Leap was the support matrix was to involve a longer time commitment to support any submitted packages so I *assume* there are less packages in Leap than in openSUSE 13.2.
You know what they say about assumptions...
Leap source packages - 7829 openSUSE 13.2 source packages - 7441
Very, very surprising.
Isn't that difference mostly or maybe entirely because 13.2 has KDE4, and Leap has a KF5 replacement that split a bunch of large packages into a bazillion smaller packages, along with other projects similarly dividing up? What's the differential in mirror space consumed? Is the -32bit count in Leap similarly larger, more, or less?
- oS 13.2 already had KF5 (5.1), although Leap has some new applications which were not yet ported for early KF5 releases. - Leap dropped KDE3, so a bunch of packages less - oS 13.2 had gcc 3.3, 4.8 and 4.9, Leap only has 3.3 (LSB requirement) and 5.2 So although Leap dropped several hardly maintained packages, it still has more *source* packages in the core distribution.
