Hi devs,
I am a little busy right now. But I'd like to get this published so we'll get some usable stats for next month. In the meantime I have improved the db schema on the server so that we could easily save the history of several years. (package data are now aggregated monthly)
Patches to this announcement are more than welcome. (I am tired and I dumped ice tea into my keyboard...)
Two years ago, we introduced <a href="http://www.archlinux.org/news/pkgstats-contribution-was-never-that-easy/">pkgstats</a>. This time, after a major revamp, we are re-introducing it to you!
Contributing is as easy as installing the package - a weekly cron job will take care of the rest. You will be sending us a list of packages installed on your system, along with the architecture and mirror you use. This information will help us prioritize our efforts and make Arch even better. So, go ahead and spread the word!
For more details see pkgstats -h or just read the simple source code. You can view the collected data at the <a href="https://www.archlinux.de/?page=Statistics">Statistics page</a>.
Thanks, very good. If there are no objections I'll publish this tonight. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
