These are generated automatically by scraping the web interface to the
distro package databases... I see that several distros appear to have
changed their interfaces in such a way as to need an update.

Can you provide a single URL that can reliably be retrieved in order
to discover an up-to-date record of which version of Rosegarden is
current in openSUSE?  It can return either HTML or some parsable
machine format.  The link you just gave includes rather a lot of
different entries, and it isn't directly obvious how I would extract
the most widely available current version (or "a stable version" and
"a bleeding-edge version") from it.  I last used SuSE before they
capitalised the U, and I have no idea how repositories are organised
for it these days.

If anyone reading this can provide similar things for Ubuntu, Arch,
Gentoo, and your other favourite distribution, that would also be
splendid.

(Although automatically scraping web databases is messy and
unreliable, it's still easier than trying to keep up to date manually.
 The broken distros on that page have only relatively recently become
broken; mostly it's worked "well enough" for the last couple of
years.)
