maybe I should clarify my intend a bit more: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I want to build an database which tells whether some release |
| 11 |
"a.b.c.d" of some package "foo" is in use by some distro "bar". |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For Gentoo, the term "in use" means, there is an ebuild in |
| 14 |
official portage tree (overlays might be treated as their own |
| 15 |
distros). So I need some scanner which runs over the whole portage |
| 16 |
tree ans spits out all package names with their normalized (!) |
| 17 |
releases. The normalized version space is exactly the same CSDB |
| 18 |
uses for it's source URL database. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I guess there's some non-trivial translation process needed. |
| 21 |
First I have to cut-off the Gentoo's internal patchlevel |
| 22 |
(aka. same upstream release, but updated ebuild), then map |
| 23 |
the upstream's versioning schemes to my normalized one. |
| 24 |
*If* Gentoo strictly follows the upstream's versioning scheme |
| 25 |
and only adds some -r* for ebuild revisions, then the first step |
| 26 |
should be easy, and CSDB's mapping stuff can be reused |
| 27 |
(although I should rewrite the bunch of php scripts to some |
| 28 |
more universal rule engine ;-o). |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Once I've got these information in the database (and also collected |
| 31 |
from other major distros), it can tell whether some release is |
| 32 |
"in use" by a simple query. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Hope my intent is now clear :) |
