Hi Everybody, Lets just face the facts.... Such download statics are just "eye candy" for SourceForge. There is no way you can take those as a reliable source of information. It's like Microsoft trying to compare Windows installs (actually copies shipped to OEM's) to Linux Install. Nobody counts torrent downloads of Linux, nobody counts the multiple of CD's I created and shared with my friends, nobody counted the multiple times I installed a CD even though I only downloaded it once, etc...
The same applies to FPC and Lazarus projects. You can install from multiple locations: application repositories of Linux distros, official downloaded archives, unofficial daily build archive, direct checkouts from the repository, the fact that linux downloads tend to be lots of little archives and the Windows version one big archive etc etc. So there you have it - those "statistics" are useless!!! -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
