[quote="marguedas, post:3, topic:1179, full:true"] For ROS packages, amd64 downloads exceeded i386 since 2015, last month's statistics of xenial downloads show amd64 packages downloaded ~20% more than i386 [[3]](https://awstats.osuosl.org/reports/packages.ros.org/2016/12/awstats.packages.ros.org.urldetail.html). We do suspect that most i386 downloads are made for computers supporting 64-bit instruction set but running x86 OSs [3] https://awstats.osuosl.org/reports/packages.ros.org/2016/12/awstats.packages.ros.org.urldetail.html [/quote] Update on the statistics. The previous statistics were package lookups (`apt-get update`) and not actual package downloads. Below is the breakdown of package downloads per architecture over the last few years: ``` | Architectures | 07/2014 | 12/2015 | 12/2016 | ------------------------------------------------ | amd64 | 67.56 % | 82.94 % | 84.01 % | | i386 | 28.77 % | 10.52 % | 6.53 % | | armhf | 0.00 % | 2.96 % | 4.66 % | | arm64 | 0.00 % | 0.00 % | 1.59 % | | source | 1.05 % | 0.51 % | 0.68 % | ``` Note: `armhf` packages have been introduced in 2015 and `arm64` packages in 2016 Note2: these statistics are total package downloads, all Linux and ROS distributions combined --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/rep3-proposal-for-lunar-loggerhead/1179/8) or reply to this email to respond.
