Philipp, you are definitely right: the numbers are not accurate, but they already include source tarballs. Now if we add all svn read transactions as reported on page https://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=599&ugn=sdcc&type=svn&mode=week <https://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=599&ugn=sdcc&type=svn&mode=week>, with assumption that they are all for non Win platforms, we are still on 73,66%. The formula is: Win_tarball_downloads / (All_tarball_downloads + svn_read_transactions) * 100 = 425 / (524 + 53) * 100 = 73,66% Borut On 07/31/2011 09:18 PM, Philipp Klaus Krause wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Am 31.07.2011 19:29, schrieb Borut Ražem: >> The fact is that the big majority of sdcc users is running Windows: >> see snapshot builds download statistics at >> https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdcc/files/snapshot_builds/stats/os. >> >> If I wold be vicious I would say: "Remove the Windows from their heads >> and let the sun shine on their minds", but I'm not, so I never wrote >> that! ;-) >> >> P.S. for Windows users: don't even try to take this as an offence: I'm >> just in mood to play with words.

Debian and ubuntu have their popularity-contest, but most users don't participate in them. One probably would have to scale the number by total installations of each distribution. According to the populkarity-contest data, 0.25% of Debian users and 0.21% of Ubuntu users have sdcc installed. However only 0.05% of Debian users use it regularly, and only 0.003% of ubuntu users use sdcc regularly. Whatever. It don't see a way to get reliable data on OS usage by sdcc users. It probaly doesn't really matter that much anyway, since AFAIK we intend to have sdcc work on all major operating systems, including *BSD and the Hurd.
