Number of packages per repository (major distributions)

Wikipedia keeps the probably most comprehensive and updated list.
Another question is why it would matter to you; package count does not say much in itself, and to the largest part, all the "big" packages are available for all distributions.

It has nothing to do with selection of a distribution, just curiosity. Thanks! – tr3quart1sta – 2012-05-03T08:45:01.770
3Note that some distributions split development headers and often documentation into separate packages, so a simple "package count" is often meaningless. A somewhat extreme example would be {
libgtk2.0-0,libgtk2.0-bin,libgtk2.0-common,libgtk2.0-dev,libgtk2.0-doc} on Debian versus {gtk2} on Arch. – user1686 – 2012-05-03T09:01:46.620
