Will someone please help me with the package statistic information for
Haiku on distrowatch.com?
I was disappointed in the information about Haiku on DistroWatch. A
lot of the information seems wrong. I recently sent this email to
Ladislav, the maintainer of DistroWatch:
> I'm confused about some information on the Haiku DistroWatch page:

>
> For example, gcc, Vim, VLC, and other software are available for

>
> How are package statistics loaded for the distributions?
> May I help in updating them?
He responded, saying:
> Please do! Just let me know what is incorrect and I'll fix it promptly.
I think of DistroWatch as an important resource for the open source
operating system community. I think many Linux users use it as a
serious source of information and news.
Many people will notice when Haiku r1alpha4 is released. I feel that
it's important to have complete and correct information for it on
DistroWatch.
I don't think there's much point in correcting information for the
release that's already been posted, but I would like to make sure the
information for r1alpha4 is ready before it's released.
I'll go through the DistroWatch list of software and collect
information about what Haiku uses. If anyone would like to help or has
suggestions (or would like to tell me to please stop) :P then I would
be grateful.
Thank you! :)
