Remnant: A new release process for Ubuntu?Remnant: A new release process for Ubuntu?Posted Sep 10, 2011 18:28 UTC (Sat) by andrel (subscriber, #5166)In reply to: Remnant: A new release process for Ubuntu? by imgx64 Parent article: Remnant: A new release process for Ubuntu? We can estimate the percent of Debian users on Unstable from popularity contest. Out of 111870 reports 49936 (45%) were running Stable and 15655 (14%) were running Testing/Unstable. Contrast that with 33756 (30%) running Oldstable! (Submission of data to popcon is voluntary, so obviously that's a source of bias. Still, it's the best data we've got.)

Could you do some advanced data mining for me?
Historically, in the first 6 months after a stable debian release goes gold, is there a noticeable drop off in the number of people using unstable? Or conversely as stable becomes more stale does the unstable users population grow?
Or to ask a more general question, is the unstable population in debian popcon a somewhat constant percentage or does it have statistically significant seasonal variations related to the debian stable release process?
If there was a way to estimate the usage of testing and experimental I'd appreciate any effort along those lines as well.

Unless the raw time-series data is posted somewhere, I can't provide you with anything better.FTP/HTTP logs at one of the major download servers could also be used to answer your questions. But I don't have access to that.
