Capture popularity for packages used via `pub global activate`

Open kevmoo opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Tracking issue for back-end analysis – currently we don't capture popularity for packages that are used via pub global activate.

grinder, stagehand, aqueduct, coverage are all "popular" via this usage, but this is not tracked anywhere.

Also webdev.

Not sure exactly where we want to take this.

Maybe we can recognize "global activatable packages" (by seeing which packages have files in bin/) and use that to rank these packages relatively based on their download count.
