[gentoo-user] supported package count comparison

Hi,
Can someone refer me to a comparison of the number of packages supported by
Debian, Redhat etc.
For counting Gentoo packages I did:
eix -c | wc -l
and got 15849

Also, how can I count the number of stable packages in Gentoo?

Regards,
Kfir

I get 23355, but I guess you are only counting the official tree and not
the layman overlays.

Read man eix, particularly the --stable option.

Yep,
eix -c --stable | wc -l
9996

Perhaps a minor nitpick, but you need the --pure-packages option, otherwise you
add a (small) bias to that number. From eix(1):

       -*, --pure-packages   (toggle)
              (do  not forget quoting if you use the short form from within a shell.)  Omit printing of additional information
              (overlay names, number of found packages) after the packages.  This might be useful for some shell scripts pars‐
              ing the output
