Re: package system: questions, suggestions, alien

This smells like most of the hits being done courtesy of canned code... 2) 'windows/setup.ini' is number 1 in the "top 30 URLS", and "installshield/README" is number 3. package-index is in between. If the windows-installer code downloads packages, it's quite possible that "initial install by windows" is swamping the data to the point where "people who later upgrade via SUMO" and "people who later upgrade via pui" are both lost in the noise. Anybody else surprised that "bbdb" is number 5 on the list and "mailcrypt" is number 25, but *NONE* of gnus/mh-e/rmail/vm are in the top 30? I have to wonder how many things are being sucked down as not-REALLY-prereqs (mailcrypt?? I doubt that there's THAT many people using PGP - that's almost certainly a case of something being a "prereq" when it should be a "recommended".... /Valdis
