Fedora Commons Repository - Lines of Code

We're wrapping up our last branches before the 3.0 final code freeze. I got curious last night about how the maintenance branch (2.2.x line) and the trunk (3.0 line) compared in terms of lines of code.

So I decided to pull up the archives of past releases and do a per-release comparison of everything under src/java/fedora. Here's what LocMetrics and Gnuplot told me:




It's hard to draw any definitive conclusions about the SLOC metric, but it's safe to say it's directly related to maintenance cost. And it's interesting to see how certain features / architectural changes affect it.
