Debian architectures, according to popularity-contest

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

It has been a while since I reported the architecture distribution in
Debian, as reported by popularity-contest.  The raising star is 'arm',
now used by 1.3% of the population.  'alpha' and 'sparc' continue to
drop.  Here are the numbers.  You can find the details on
<URL:http://popcon.debian.org/>.

  11678  86.35% i386
   1106   8.18% amd64
    223   1.65% powerpc
    181   1.34% arm
    117   0.87% sparc
     50   0.37% alpha
     42   0.31% hppa
     32   0.24% ia64
     27   0.20% mipsel
     20   0.15% armeb
     12   0.09% mips
     12   0.09% kfreebsd-i386
      9   0.07% hurd-i386
      6   0.04% s390
      5   0.04% m68k
      2   0.01% i486
      1   0.01% ppc64
      1   0.01% kfreebsd-amd64
  13524 100.00% total (ignored 325 without arch info)

The 325 machines without arch info are most likely running
Debian/Woody or earlier versions of debian.

If you want to help the Debian project to get a more accurate view on
the architectures used, make sure your machines have the
popularity-contest package installed and enabled.  The reported data
is also used to decide which packages go into which installation CD,
so you will increase the chance that the packages important to you are
available on the first CD as well.
