| jrwren | looks interesting: http://beta.repology.org | 12:52 |
| jrwren | good morning | 12:53 |
| jrwren | no ubuntu there, but hoepfully they will add it. I know there are some universe packages that have been abandoned for years and keep getting carried over. Maybe this will shed some light on their needed maintenance. | 12:53 |
| cmaloney | Interesting | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | Perhaps they figure Ubuntu / Debian already do something like this | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | (albeit, not as nicely surfaced) | 12:55 |
| jrwren | debian is on the list. | 12:56 |
| jrwren | its still beta. | 12:57 |
| cmaloney | Well, then Ubuntu is covered. :-P | 12:57 |
| dzho | no CentOS/Fedora/Scientific Linux | 13:13 |
| jrwren | no one uses those. :p | 13:17 |
| jrwren | it is weird, they chose to ignore the 2 top high used distros. | 13:18 |
| dzho | well, ignore or not start with or whatever | 13:29 |
| jrwren | true. it does look like you could plug them in. I think they support rpm based distros. | 13:30 |
| dzho | this looks like the tricky part https://github.com/AMDmi3/repology#package-matching | 13:34 |
| jrwren | indeed. that is some black magic there. | 13:34 |
| dzho | the thing that comes to mind for me there is that org-mode is a separate package in Debian, but is included in the emacs packages for Fedora et al | 13:34 |
| cmaloney | Is there such a thing as a central RPM repo? | 13:34 |
| cmaloney | Seems there's still reasons to use rpmfind | 13:35 |
| jrwren | dzho: i think they would be better suited analyzing source packages instead of binary, but maybe both are important. | 13:35 |
| dzho | yeah that's where my thoughts turned | 13:36 |
| dzho | but you'd have to depend on the upstream package source files being programmatically available | 13:36 |
| jrwren | dzho: they are for all the distros we have mentioned. | 13:36 |
| dzho | "oh that's easy, you just download the source file for each package for each distro and then ..." | 13:37 |
| dzho | then a miracle occurs because that turns into a huge task | 13:37 |
| jrwren | dzho: i haven't looked at how this thing actually works. I'm sure you are right. | 13:37 |
| dzho | I like to see these sorts of things, though, because it's of a piece, in my mind, with universal builds and reproducible builds and such. | 13:38 |
| dzho | making sure you have, as the GPL puts it, complete and corresponding source. | 13:38 |
| * dzho now feels compelled to search the phrase "source code ontologies" | 13:39 | |
| === widox_ is now known as widox | ||
| jrwren | appears there is no rpm based distro support. That explains that. | 13:55 |
| dzho | ok, I have recovered from my urge to read anything having to do with ontologies | 14:21 |
