I think we could use the remoteid in future to improve the repology |
8 |
warnings. However, I am not fully convinced that we can completely |
9 |
replace the repology check using the remoteid, as a simple grep shows, |
10 |
that currently 9873 packages contain at least one remote id. That's |
11 |
just half of our packages in the tree. So I could imagine that we do |
12 |
use the remoteid whenever it is available and otherwise fall back on |
13 |
the repology data. However, for this to work we would need to things |
14 |
imo: |
15 |
|
16 |
1) Get the latest version available given the remoteid |
17 |
2) Compare the latest version available with our latest version |
18 |
|
19 |
It's especially the second part that I think is not done that quickly. |
20 |
However, if anyone is interested in coming up with some logic / code |
21 |
for this, any contributions are highly welcome. |
