Sorry, I missed this email, but I'll be at the council meeting to listen |
20 |
in on talk about GLEP 46. |
21 |
|
22 |
Having Freshmeat, SourceForge etc. project id's in metadata.xml sounds |
23 |
great. |
24 |
|
25 |
I would gladly write a tool to go through SourceForge and Freshmeat's |
26 |
metadata and match project names to ebuild package names using HOMEPAGE. |
27 |
I already have code to parse FLOSSMole's[1] metadata, so it'd be |
28 |
simple to whip up quickly. |

doapspace.org has an API that lets you give a SourceForge, Freshmeat, |
31 |
PyPI and RubyForge project name and get metadata back, so having a link |
32 |
to the DOAP's URL in metadata.xml isn't really needed for those. For |
33 |
self-hosted projects, we could either put a link to the DOAP in |
34 |
metadata.xml, or simply make sure the HOMEPAGE matches the homepage in |
35 |
the DOAP itself. The second is preferable because the URL to the DOAP |
36 |
could change. |
37 |
|
38 |
Meatoo will be much more accurate after I cross-reference metadata from |
39 |
FLOSSMole to map Gentoo package names to other forge/package index |
40 |
names. Once that's done, we'll have very accurate version bump info that |
41 |
can be looked up by herd/maintainer, from SourceForge, RubyForge, |
42 |
Freshmeat etc. |
