apt.postgresql.org statistics

February 4, 2015

At this year’s FOSDEM I gave a talk in the PostgreSQL devroom about Large Scale Quality Assurance in the PostgreSQL Ecosystem. The talk included a graph about the growth of the apt.postgresql.org repository that I want to share here as well:

The yellow line at the very bottom is the number of different source package names, currently 71. From that, a somewhat larger number of actual source packages that include the “pgdgXX” version suffixes targeting the various distributions we have is built (blue). The number of different binary package names (green) is in about the same range. The dimension explosion then happens for the actual number of binary packages (black, almost 8000) targeting all distributions and architectures.

The red line is the total size of the pool/ directory, currently a bit less than 6GB.

(The graphs sometimes decrease when packages in the -testing distributions are promoted to the live distributions and the old live packages get removed.)
