By zero-install I mean a package from the main tree ("gentoo") that none
of the submitters has installed. To detect such packages I plan to
collect the list of currently in-tree packages from rsync and query the
submission database against it.
I'm aware that with currently ~13,000 packages in tree and ~4,000
packages in the Gentoo Smolt database the zero-install list holds ~7,000
packages. With more submission I expect that number to decrease
strongly in the future.
With that in mind, what do you think?
