Linux source tree file sizes #8

Closed fweez closed 13 years ago

fweez commented 13 years ago

I've generated a dataset of the file sizes for the Linux source tree, and a general-purpose file size script (in Python, unfortunately).

I called kernel.org the data set source, since turning the kernel source into file sizes is fairly trivial, but if you'd prefer a short writeup, or just a link to the generation script, let me know.

Super cool man, thanks. We're still figuring out how best to deal with the various tools people will create for crunching the data, but I think for now maybe it's best to drop your script in a Gist and then we can add a section to the README linking to it. Since it's your script, would you like to create the Gist?

Sounds good: https://gist.github.com/1049438

Thanks again - I've deployed your dataset to the live site.
