But tens of thousands of finished-ish products is a drop in the bucket compared to the total scale of FOSS software through Github/Gitlab. For GPL alone, a quick license search on Github reveals almost 2M individual repositories with that license. I'd wager that it's unlikely a majority of those would meet an include-in-a-distro's-package-manager level of polish.
- visiblink 6y agoI agree with your math and your assessment of what's available at Github and the like. Perhaps part of the problem is that people (including many developers) treat git repositories as app stores. It seems unfair to complain that you're getting rough products when you're snatching them off the factory floor -- or out of the design room.
