How about adding an optional freshmeat tag to the metadata.xml that |
4 |
could be used to robustly link the package with the contents of |
5 |
http://freshmeat.net/backend/ fm-projects.rdf (warning 72 meg file). |
6 |
This could be used to enable http://packages.gentoo.org/ to be updated |
7 |
with information on which packages had newer upstream releases since |
8 |
package maintainers frequently announce releases with freshmeat. A link |
9 |
to the freshmeat package page could be added which some users may find a |
10 |
useful resource. Freshmeat tracks a lot of useful metadata that |
11 |
package.gentoo.org can take advantage of like 'Development Status' which |
12 |
is from 'alpha' to 'mature' and indicates what level of maturity the |
13 |
package author thinks of her own work. Umm, links to screen shots or |
14 |
demo sites, dependency information, the more I think about it the |
15 |
possibly useful information that could be collected for free. |
