FSF Network of Required Projects, July 2012

FSF allows each project to state what other packages are required by this project.

Here is the SQL code to generate the data showing which software packages are most commonly required by other projects.

Notes: (1)We also have data on the TYPE of requirement (use requirement, build requirement, etc), but this column is not used in this query. (2) The required project does not have to be listed on the FSF directory to be included in the list. (For example, Perl is the most commonly required package, but this is not a FSF-directory listed project.)

SELECT requirement, count( * )
FROM fsf_project_requirements
WHERE datasource_id =319
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 2 DESC
