I think you'll find Ubuntu's "popularity contest" information helpful here: http://popcon.ubuntu.com/by_inst.gz #<name> is the package name; #<inst> is the number of people who installed this package; #<vote> is the number of people who use this package regularly; #<old> is the number of people who installed, but don't use this package # regularly; #<recent> is the number of people who upgraded this package recently; #<no-files> is the number of people whose entry didn't contain enough # information (atime and ctime were 0). #rank name inst vote old recent no-files (maintainer) 443 nvidia-kernel-common 566430 816 176327 142 389145 (Randall Donald) 5260 nvidia-glx-legacy 5787 805 4808 171 3 (Unknown) 1552 nvidia-glx-new 111189 35200 70216 5736 37 (Unknown) 1898 nvidia-glx 68381 8407 58731 1219 24 (Daniel Stone) It would appear that a sizeable chunk of Ubuntu users still rely on the legacy driver. Mind you this doesn't include users who did not participate in the package survey, and it doesn't include users that download the legacy drivers directly from nVidia. Still, I think it's useful... -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
