What packages to fix and import first?

[Aleksey Cheusov <vle%gmx.net@localhost>]

WIP contains huge amount of software, more than 2000 packages.
What packages can be imported and in which order?
What packages need to be fixed before others?

I think it makes sense to use "popularity contest" provided by other
systems. For example, Debian Linux provides it here

   http://popcon.debian.org/

In particular there they provide tarballs containing source package
names with their statistics/popularity, see "Statistics by source
packages sorted by fields" section.

I wrote small script

   http://mova.org/~cheusov/pub/popcon4pkgsrc-wip/popcon4pkgsrc-wip

that gets 

   http://popcon.debian.org/source/by_inst

and src_summary (unpacked)

   http://mova.org/~cheusov/pub/popcon4pkgsrc-wip/pkg_src_summary.txt.bz2

on input and shows how popular wip packages "are" in Debian
(5-columns of numbers).

Run this script like this

   popcon4pkgsrc-wip by_inst pkg_src_summary.txt | sort -k3nr

As a result you'll obtain the following

   http://mova.org/~cheusov/pub/popcon4pkgsrc-wip/pkgsrc_popcon.txt

Of course at the top of this list are Linux-specific things like
sysvinit, e2fsprogs and glibc but below are general purpose software.

Remember source packages (source tarballs) were used as an identifier,
not Debian package names.

The same can probably be done for Ubuntu and maybe others.

Of course the popularity in Linux world doesn't mean it will be needed by
NetBSD users. And of course popularity may mean nothing for some of you.
You may think all this is just for fun ;-)
