LT seems to be some collaboration / project management platform, not a database of package releases and their URLs. BTW: I've now got the base structure and some crawlers running.

While in theory it might be a good idea, iirc the devs pretty much unanimously agreed that it should not be pursued right now until it's open-sourced. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEmBpprsJQqN81j74RAmzxAJ9MwK/2ScG9iSOmTwAUBpWwhz079gCcC2he iJKdLxwF/jP8t48NS4NWmk0= =hqCP -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-dev] 1/2 OT: Comprehensive Source Database
Hi folks, I'm currently working on infrastructure for an comprehensive and detailed source database. It is not an replacement for freshmeat (which is good software index for human users), but an strictly defined database of package releases and assigned download URLs along with several meta-data (ie. maturity classifications, etc). This database can be queried by automated build systems to get download URLs, notify people on new releases, etc, etc. Distro/Package maintainers get the benefit of being notified properly on each new release and feeding these information directly into their buildsystems. Once the database is running, I plan to add more data, ie. hotfix patches or other qm relevant stuff (see my recent announcement about my oss-qm project). The intended audience are package maintainers and self-compiling people as well as evryone who needs an clean database of packages, releases and their URLs. Anyone here interested in joining me ? cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cellphone: +49 174 7066481 - -- DSL ab 0 Euro. -- statische IP -- UUCP -- Hosting -- Webshops -- - -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
