We don't have metrics for the OGR driver, but libfyba0 still has 513
users in popcon.
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=fyba
Looking in the same column in
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=gdal shows that gdal-bin would
have only 520 users... which seems highly suspiciously low compared to
the super specialized and low level libfyba. I would bet that > 99% of
installations of libfyba0 are because libgdal links to it, which doesn't
mean that it is used for useful stuff (the other reverse dependency of
libfyba in Debian is sosi2osm, which according to
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=sosi2osm, has only 3 users)
sosi2osm was removed from Debian during the bookworm development cycle.
The only rdep of fyba in Debian is gdal now.
Almost all installations of libfyba are due to it being a dependency of
gdal, that's why it has 23911 installations but only 513 votes (regular
users).
What if people build a Docker image of GDAL from source and install its
dependencies with apt install libfyba-dev: will that trigger a hit in
popcorn?
popcon is opt-in, there are only ~230000 systems running popcon out of
millions of Debian installations. Hence it's mostly usable to provide
insight into relative popularity compared to other packages in Debian.
Container images are unlikely to enable popcon, the Docker images don't
even have it installed.
I'm more interested in Norwegian flesh and bones users testifying about
their use or non-use of SOSI.
Me too, if there are none left we can also remove the fyba package from
Debian.
Kind Regards,
Bas
