So are those unique IPs or just package downloads which nobody knows how many users they represent?
BTW roughly how many users does openSUSE have? http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Statistics shows some numbers but since it does not subtract "replaced" cookies, it's not really that helpful. I read a number of 1.2 Mio somewhere some years ago, is that correct? KDE:UpdatedApps:12.1 (KUA) has 28 Mio downloads in three weeks (according to Jos) and 46 packages are available in that repo. So each package was downloaded 600,000 times in three weeks assuming that all KUA users update every package from that repo. I'd guess the latter is wrong and hence the download numbers/users for some packages are higher. But anyway, assuming that the packages in KUA did all change at least twice within three weeks, which does not happen in KUA, but anyway. There would be 300,000 users which have installed all packages from KUA and update all of them. So 25% of openSUSE users use a non-official (compared to oss) KDE4 repo, which seems a lot, i.e. too many, to me. Assuming oS has 2 Mio users it would still be 15%. I always assumed users would be a lot more conservative regarding un- official repos, expecting something like 15% of the KDE4 oS users and not 15% of all oS users. Especially because all those using KDE:Release:xy repos are not using KUA, as they do not mix. KDE3 has 12 million downloads with 450 packages and hence 27,000 downloads per package. Assuming the same amount of changes, results in 1% of openSUSE users using that repo (assuming 1.2 Mio) and 0,7% assuming 2 Mio oS users. Java 100,000,000 downloads, 200 packages, 500,000 downloads per package in three weeks. And thus with the same numbers as above 20% of the oS users, 12,5% respectively. I'm not sure these download numbers can be used to prove anything without a lot more data as to where they come from and what they represent, how they depend on the number of packages in a repo, how often those packages get a new build number and thus increase the download number etc. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
