Every now and then someone get sick of Gentoo and suddenly became prophet, preaching that the end of the distro is near. I wanted to see how much should we worry about it so I've made a perl script to find the history of the following characteristics: - no. of active developers (active dev := did at least a commit in that month) - no. of commits / month The data and the perl script used to obtain it are available at http://dev.gentoo.org/~mrness/gentoo-activity-2006-06/ .
I am aware those characteristics are quantitative and don't say anything about the quality of the distribution. However, judging after those graphs, even the worst basher will recognize that we are far from being dead.
