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. |
