Here is an update to the usual graphs generated from snapshot.d.o<\/a>. See my previous blog post<\/a> for the background info.<\/p>\n

In all graphs, it’s easy to see the effect of the Jessie freeze (and the previous freezes since 2005, too).<\/p>\n

Team maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"comaint-2015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s interesting to see that, while the number of team-maintained packages increases, the number of packages that aren’t co-maintained is very stable.<\/p>\n

Maintenance\u00a0using a VCS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"vcs-2015\"<\/p>\n

Git is the clear winner now, with the migration rate increasing recently.<\/p>\n

Packaging helpers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"helpers-2015\"<\/p>\n

As usual, the number of packages using CDBS is quite stable. The number of packages using traditional debhelper might\u00a0soon be lower than those using CDBS.<\/p>\n

Patch systems and packaging formats<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"formats-patches-2015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.0 is the clear winner, even if we still have 3000+ packages using 1.0, and ~1000 of those modifying files directly. The other patch systems have basically disappeared.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

So, all those graphs are kind-of boring now. Any good ideas of additional\u00a0things to track, that be can identified reliably by looking at source packages?<\/p>\n

For those interested, below are links to the graphs with percentages of packages.<\/p>\n
