I don't know what other modules depend on PDL. Bioperl in lucid did not depend on PDL directly http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/science/bioperl Anyway: the numbers are lower:
Package: bioperl 107 2117 15 1 Package: bioperl-run 11 989 21 0 Apparently, for developers there is a command: reverse-build-depends https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevTools I don't have sufficient source packages to run it on pdl. David Mertens wrote:
Thanks! That's an astounding number, but I think it's probably an overestimate. For example, I suspect that many of those people are through dependencies rather than direct usage. I know that some BioPerl modules depend on PDL. But, at least we know that thousands of people use PDL, whether directly or indirectly. That's pretty cool!
