You can even have more criteria:
- submitted for the first time - downloaded N times from download.opensuse.org - installed N times on SUSE Linux (would need some "opt in" monitoring app)
- list all reported bugs concerning this package
- number of bugs submitted
- number of bugs resolved
- number of bugs pending
- what other users think of this package
- the package is 10 (high quality) .. 0 (bad quality)
- comments on the package
Actually you finally should not decide on such numbers whether you install a package but find out to whom packager you can trust or even to whom person can you trust if he tells you that you can trust to a specific packager.
Only if you want to be dead sure of course. If you want to handle that a bit more sloppy then you can just rely on the numb3rs. And numb3rs shouldnt be everything here. Like you said comments are also a very good way to check the quality. Or we bring trust-rings into play. I trust Pascal. You trust me. So you trust Pascal also. There are so many ways to cherry pick for quality..... Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, Subsystems "Rules change. The Game remains the same." - Omar (The Wire)
