I don't know what you exactly mean by a key, but for ctan the |
7 |
catalogue [1,2] may be what you're looking for. |
8 |
If I understood correctly, a key would be $PN and the relevant |
9 |
information found in, e.g., |
10 |
http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/entries/${PN}.html |
11 |
|
12 |
Note that not all packages have version information; if they don't, one |
13 |
can probably use the date instead. |
14 |
|
15 |
If I remember correctly, texlive has perl scripts/libs to deal with it, |
16 |
so it may be possible to reuse them for a bumpchecker. |
17 |
|
18 |
Also, definitely +1 for adding more sites, but I think one important |
19 |
feature is missing: simple http/ftp listing. Not all projects are |
20 |
hosted on major sites, and having a (more complicated) way of tracking |
21 |
versions based on a directory listing could be useful. I do not know |
22 |
how to exactly implement that (maybe a regexp to match only the files |
23 |
we want and a sed/awk script to do the $tarball -> $PV pass). |
24 |
If I remember correctly debian has something like that for version |
25 |
tracking, so it may be worth having a look. |
