Description:
Moved from Brainstorming_Prague (http://en.opensuse.org/BrainStorming_Prague#We_don.27t_know_which_packages_u...)
Problem: We don't know which packages users really use/have installed
We cannot focus our interest on really important packages for our end-
users, because we don't know which are important. Those popularity
statistics could help us in many ways - for example bug priority of
popular package should be higher, or we can decide move the package
from/to Factory, ... Debian has a http://popcon.debian.org/ and
popularity-contest package, so we should reuse an existing code. The
pupularity-contest executable is a simple Perl script, which should be
ported to rpm (replacing of dpkg calls by rpm alternative should be
enough). Those package usage statistics could be integrated into
Software Portal and to YaST comparing relative results for individual
packages between openSUSE and Debian can give us a valuable information
about the community structure (how many users use development tools
etc.)

Should be marked as duplicate of #305876, but I have no idea how to do
it ;-)
#2: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2009-02-20 12:56:33) (reply to #1)
This is #305876 :D
