You can see how the number of Debian ghc6 users with the popularity-contest package installed has varied with time here: http://people.debian.org/~igloo/popcon-graphs/index.php?packages=ghc6&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&show_old=on&show_recent=on&show_nofiles=on&want_legend=on&beenhere=1 You can also compare, e.g., the number of people with ghc6, ghc5, nhc98 and hugs installed: http://people.debian.org/~igloo/popcon-graphs/index.php?packages=ghc6+ghc5+nhc98+hugs&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&beenhere=1 There is some other info on http://popcon.debian.org/ too, e.g. http://popcon.debian.org/main/by_inst shows that ghc6 is about 5329 of 18122 if your order packages by number of installations today. Of course, we only get numbers from those users who opt in by installing popularity-contest, which makes drawing conclusions from it harder :-) Enjoy, Ian _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
