OBS repo download statistics
Dear openSUSE users, I have been curious which repos are most popular in OBS downloads, so I crunched the numbers from download.o.o of how many unique IP addrs zypper-refreshed which repos in the 6 days since 2022-09-11 00:00 Attached, you find the top300. In there, you can see the relative popularity of devel projects such as mozilla games science and even 36 home repos made it into the list. I hope, you find this as interesting as I did. Ciao Bernhard M.

Awesome work and thanks for sharing, Bernard. As one of the maintainers of the science project, while the relative popularity of science/openSUSE_Tumbleweed is encouraging; on the flip side, it implies we have some relatively popular packages not in Factory yet. 😀️ Best wishes, -- Atri Bhattacharya <badshah400>

As a follow-up, you might be intrigued to know how much effort we spend on making these OBS repos available to you, on mirrors around the world. The total volume of OBS repos is about 25Tbytes, split roughly 50/50 over non-home/home - with a continually growing rate of change. For interested mirror operators, we offer to actively push out changes to them. We currently have active push mirrors in Germany, Finland, Sweden and the US (our own) plus one in Africa. Pushing out the continually changing repos - in an efficient manner - is quite a challenge. There are fast mirrors and there are slow mirrors, working out the optimal way to serve our community is not easy. I myself find it interesting to observe the rate of change ... changing. During the night (CET), there is a noticeable slowdown, and mirrors have some time to pick up. For slower mirrors this is a godsend, but not nearly enough. Anyway, just some trivia from behind the trenches. It is almost 2200 CET, I am still monitoring my reworked repos push, it is a very dynamic situation, not easy to find the right factors. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
