I started working on a salsa importer in UDD. It still needs some
polishing and Web pages to expose interesting results, but it already
provides the following information:
* 37641 source packages in trixie/main
* of which 36083 declare a VCS URL
* of which 34644 point to a salsa project
* of which 34370 point to a salsa project that exists
.. grouped by salsa group:
salsa_group | count
--------------+-------
debian | 4255
perl-team | 3963
rust-team | 2970
python-team | 2703
go-team | 2338
js-team | 1677
r-pkg-team | 1159
java-team | 1089
ruby-team | 1054
haskell-team | 957
.. grouped by default branch:
default_branch | count
-----------------+-------
master | 24467
debian/master | 2569
debian/latest | 2480
debian/sid | 2160
debian | 561
debian/main | 522
debian/unstable | 512
debian/epoxy | 450
main | 338
debian-unstable | 117
Looking at the DEP-14 compliance of the above:
default_branch | count
-----------------+-------
master | 24467 ; not DEP-14-compliant
debian/master | 2569 ; not DEP-14-compliant, but shares the idea of
using <vendor>/ branches
debian/latest | 2480 ; DEP-14-OK
debian/sid | 2160 ; DEP-14-OK but not recommended (debian/unstable would
be)
debian | 561 ; not DEP-14-compliant
debian/main | 522 ; not DEP-14-compliant, see debian/main
debian/unstable | 512 ; DEP-14-OK
debian/epoxy | 450 ; not DEP-14-compliant (this is used by the
openstack team)
main | 338 ; not DEP-14-compliant
debian-unstable | 117 ; not DEP-14-compliant
So that leaves 2480+2160+512=5152 source packages using a DEP-14 default
branch.
They are maintained by the following salsa groups:
salsa_group | count_dep14 | count_total
------------------------+-------------+-------------
go-team | 1491 | 2338
debian | 980 | 4255
python-team | 333 | 2703
gnome-team | 321 | 329
perl-team | 268 | 3963
php-team | 211 | 268
multimedia-team | 152 | 606
homeassistant-team | 120 | 435
science-team | 74 | 856
DebianOnMobile-team | 74 | 83
pkg-octave-team | 72 | 73
js-team | 55 | 1677
games-team | 53 | 506
ruby-team | 51 | 1054
fonts-team | 48 | 393
lxqt-team | 48 | 48
swaywm-team | 27 | 31
virtualsquare-team | 26 | 26
java-team | 25 | 1089
So, it looks like among the largest packaging teams, only the go team,
the gnome team, and the php team have significantly adopted DEP-14.
Note that this is not a criticism of DEP-14, only an attempt at
providing numbers about DEP-14 adoption.
