Hi folk, |

I'd like to add some package usage information to the |
| 5 |
Comprehensive Source Database (http://sourcefarm.metux.de/): |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The database should know whether some specific release is used |
| 8 |
by some distribution, and maybe whether additional patches are |
| 9 |
needed. This should help the OSS-QM project (http://oss-qm.metux.de/) |
| 10 |
and upstream to decide which releases to support. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
As Gentoo's my favourite distro, I'd start here: a scanner runs |
| 13 |
through the portage tree regularily and updates the CSDB usage |
| 14 |
records. But the tricky point is matching Gentoo's ebuild version |
| 15 |
to CSDB's normalized version space. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Does anyone have an suggestion how to achieve this (w/o too much |
| 18 |
manual work) ? |
