Hi folks, |

I'm currently working on infrastructure for an comprehensive and |
| 5 |
detailed source database. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
It is not an replacement for freshmeat (which is good software |
| 8 |
index for human users), but an strictly defined database of package |
| 9 |
releases and assigned download URLs along with several meta-data |
| 10 |
(ie. maturity classifications, etc). This database can be queried |
| 11 |
by automated build systems to get download URLs, notify people on |
| 12 |
new releases, etc, etc. Distro/Package maintainers get the benefit |
| 13 |
of being notified properly on each new release and feeding these |
| 14 |
information directly into their buildsystems. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Once the database is running, I plan to add more data, ie. hotfix |
| 17 |
patches or other qm relevant stuff (see my recent announcement |
| 18 |
about my oss-qm project). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The intended audience are package maintainers and self-compiling |
| 21 |
people as well as evryone who needs an clean database of packages, |
| 22 |
releases and their URLs. |

Anyone here interested in joining me ? |
