Atomic reaches 1 million servers and counting...

Unread post by scott »

Some time back in january the Atomic repo for the first time hit 1 million active servers in a single month. These stats dont count devices behind nat, or private repo users so it could have hit this a while ago. I can remember not that long ago when we were reaching maybe 10,000 and thinking that was pretty cool.

Here are some fun stats:
* Atomic is distributed from 8 public mirrors
* The repo will be 10 years old in June
* The oldest tracked package in the changelog is Tnef, v 1.2.1 released on November 27, 2005 (There were older packages, I just did not have the changelog then)
* Atomic has been through 3 major build systems, Manual me + Vmware, DAR (by Dag Wieers), and now ART-build which is a hybrid of mock, dar, and kmodtool
* The repo was originally started to support a side project at Plesk that was supposed to develop something like OpenExchange
* The first package in Atomic was PHP, in order to support R&D for the OpenExchange project. It was needed to support a specific version of Horde
* The most popular package in Atomic is.... PHP
* Since 2005, there have been 4196 package commits
* Packages are built across 5 build servers, Archelon, Leatherback, Loggerhead, Flatback, and Ministry. (rpm -qi <packagename to see which one!>
* I put jokes, inside references, holiday greetings and birthday announcements in rpm changelogs
* The most complicated package is the ASL kernel spec file at 2630 lines, of which 435 are individual patches
* The second most complicated package is the suite of spec's that handle the openvas project
