SanitizedLinuxTimeline

This project contains python scripts for reducing the Linux Distribution Timeline to the most popular distributions (according to Distrowatch) and their ancestors.

Dependencies

  • git
  • gnuclad
  • Python3
  • BeautifulSoup4

Setup

git clone --recursive https://github.com/PhilLecl/SanitizedLinuxTimeline

Usage

Generate a list containing the top NUM distros on Distrowatch and write it to LISTFILE:

./scrape_distrowatch.py NUM LISTFILE [TIMEFRAME]

Possible timeframes are:

  • 0: last 12 months
  • 1: last 6 months
  • 2: last 3 months
  • 3: last month

Generate a csv for gnuclad using LISTFILE and write it to CSVFILE (in linuxtimeline/):

./sanitize_csv LISTFILE linuxtimeline/ldt.csv replacements.json linuxtimeline/CSVFILE

Generate the image using gnuclad and write it to SVGFILE:

cd linuxtimeline
gnuclad CSVFILE SVGFILE ldt.conf
