deps.dev weekly direct dependents of the system's own packages. A package counts when it is declared in the system's own tree, published under that name and not attributed by deps.dev to another repository. Partition dates can repeat across snapshots. Package linkage is not uniformly verified: packages with no repository metadata (no_link) are unverified and remain admitted.

Daily package dependents (unscored): 93; captured 2026-11-06; package: pypi/vllm. deps.dev REST count for one identity-verified pinned package, captured daily and never scored. Its package scope differs from the weekly package union; neither value replaces the other. 96,482 GitHub stars, recorded, not scored.

This axis measures the trajectory of a system's own packages: declared in its own tree, published under that name, and not attributed by deps.dev to another repository. A package with no repository link is unverified and stays. The self-name exclusion list is fixed at the v2h.1 panel. Systems with no admitted package are not measured on this axis. Points that cannot be derived exactly are withheld, and the series restarts after a withheld point.

The earliest weekly points of each series were read from deps.dev's BigQuery history on 2026-07-21; later points are weekly captures. m5 does not replay those partitions: each point is the stored system total, one package's unique_direct, or a complete sketch union, and a point that is not exact is withheld. Each record reports how many of its points are reconstructed history.
