Something like pkgstats.archlinux.de/fun where I can see the popularity of the packages by category, but with many more categories and being able to see which packages are trending.
Here are some related websites that aren’t exactly what I’m looking for:
- Hacker News
- Arch Linux Package Statistics
- Arch User Repository
- Repology
- pkgs.org
- Release Monitoring
- Reposcope
- Debian Popularity Contest
- Flathub
I wrote a script that uses the data from pkgstats.archlinux.de but it doesn’t distinguish between software and libraries so it’s very difficult to find anything useful in the output.
Removing any package that starts with lib should get rid of most of them. If your dataset has a libs section like debian, remove those too. Then you can manually review any stragglers.
