Is there a simple way to discover the answer to questions like "how many packages are on Hackage?" or "how many downloads per day does Hackage serve?" Or is this information not posted anywhere?
(I know there was a blog article a while back with some stats in it, but what about the statistics today?)
501 users have uploaded 7202 versions of 1870 packages. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/stats The download stats are computed occasionally, but I've not had time since Hackage moved to the new server. The last edition is here: "In November, there were 287 package released on Hackage, bringing the total number of Haskell packages to 1720. We had a record 143 thousand downloads from Hackage in November, breaking the previous monthly record of 95 thousand set in October 2009, and bringing the total downloads from Hackage to 1.53M." http://haskellwebnews.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/whats-new-in-haskell-december... We average about 100k downloads a month (e.g. via cabal-install). Or 2-3 thousand downloads a day. More updates soon. -- Don
