hi raca, > I suggest that on the install of pacman, install scripts should be > suggested the install of pkgstats to help more people using it. i'm against. it is already easy enaugh to install & use it. and btw it needs time to setup one's arch installation - statistics of newly installed systems wouldn't be that meaningful, don't you think? > Anyway, I think a better way would be the mirrors making the statics of > downloaded pkgs so it would be less intrusive and less risky. But that > would require a lot work on mirrors and statics would be bias because it > wouldn't know of pkg that are installed and uninstalled right away. to the contras ou already mentioned, there should be added: -many people have their own mirrors -some people are reinstalling packages from the mirrors (those not using the cached pkgs) > Another thing that would be nice to now about is if the packages are > really used. call me paranoid, but i don't want others to know what i'm exactly doing with my computer! regards Hubert Grzeskowiak
