Hi, I got this bug assigned to yum the other day:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446836
it's not really a yum item, yet, b/c yum can really only USE the data, not generate it.
However, I don't know where it should go. Is anyone working on this sort of thing?
Isn't any package popularity rating going to be hugely skewed such that the 'default install set' packages are basically always rated top, making rankings of dubious value
that's been my general impression which is why I was curious who wanted to look at it since my overt bias against them is a bit discouraging :)
I think a more useful metric would be a popularity list based on which programs are *run*. You'd obviously have to exclude things that are typically batch-run/scripted - eg bash would dominate. Count any binary run with a .desktop file perhaps, although that'd exclude mutt and emacs. IIRC mugshot/gnome live is already able to track this kind of metric
