Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I recently started working on a small gentoo utility named "euscan" |
4 |
(for Ebuild Upstream Scan) |
5 |
For those who don't know debian's uscan, it allows to scan upstream |
6 |
for new versions. It's used by packages.qa.debian.org (example: |
7 |
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/php-net-ipv4.html ). |
8 |
It's available at: http://xf.iksaif.net/bordel/euscan |
9 |
|
10 |
Currently, it uses two heuristics to find new versions, both based on |
11 |
SRC_URI and PV: |
12 |
- Directory scanning: scan directories to find files with newer version |
13 |
- Brute Force: generate new possible versions, and try to download files |
14 |
|
15 |
Note that it also works when only a part of the version is available |
16 |
in the url. |
17 |
|
18 |
I think that it would be great to have these informations on |
19 |
http://packages.gentoo.org/ and/or unofficial |
20 |
http://gentoo-portage.com/ website. |
21 |
|
22 |
We could also add the ability to browse packages by maintainer to help |
23 |
them see if they have any outdated package. |
24 |
|
25 |
I started this mostly to see if it was possible, and I don't know if |
26 |
i'll have the time to continue to work on that project, but I think |
27 |
gentoo really needs an automated way to detect outdated packages. |
28 |
This could also be a 2011 GSOC project (finishing euscan, and adding a |
29 |
web based interface to browse the results). |
