Hi folk,
I'd like to add some package usage information to the Comprehensive Source Database (http://sourcefarm.metux.de/): The database should know whether some specific release is used by some distribution, and maybe whether additional patches are needed. This should help the OSS-QM project (http://oss-qm.metux.de/) and upstream to decide which releases to support. As Gentoo's my favourite distro, I'd start here: a scanner runs through the portage tree regularily and updates the CSDB usage records. But the tricky point is matching Gentoo's ebuild version to CSDB's normalized version space. Does anyone have an suggestion how to achieve this (w/o too much manual work) ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
