A while back, I made a list of popular packages in Ubuntu that were missing in Debian/main. Just for fun, I created the list again today. It look at all packages with more than 5000 votes in the Ubuntu popularity contest results, and compare the packages to Debian main.

This is the script I used to create the list: GET http://popcon.ubuntu.com/by_vote.gz | gunzip > ubuntu-by_vote-all GET http://popcon.debian.org/main/by_vote.gz | gunzip > debian-by_vote-main grep -v '#' ubuntu-by_vote-all | \ awk '$4 > 5000 {print $2}' | \ sort > ubuntu-popular awk '{print $2}' debian-by_vote-main | sort > debian-main comm -23 ubuntu-popular debian-main I am not currently subscribed to debian-devel@, so please keep me on CC if there is a reply I should see. :) -- Happy hacking, Petter Reinholdtsen
