Package: tracker.debian.org Severity: wishlist Repology is a project that monitors a huge number of package repositories and other sources comparing packages versions across them and gathering other information. It shows you in which repositories a given project is packaged, which version is the latest and which needs updating, who maintains the package, and other related information.
https://repology.org/ For package maintainers it helps to: Discover new releases of software you maintain packages for Find new projects to package Get in touch with fellow maintainers to improve packages together Keep package naming and versioning schemes in sync to other repos Fix problems detected by repology, such as broken links I think this would be useful for Debian package maintainers to have links to Repology from the tracker site. Repology have now implemented a redirect from distro packages to Repology projects. The redirect URL takes several parameters, but for Debian purposes we need to supply the "highest" suite the source package is available in and the source package name. https://repology.org/tools/project-by In the versions panel please add at the end an "Other distros" or "Other distro versions" link (with title "provided by Repology") pointing at the versions list for the Repology project corresponding to the current Debian source package. https://repology.org/tools/project-by?repo=debian_$suite&name_type=srcname&target_page=project_versions&name=$srcpkg In the links panel please add at the end an "Other distros" or "Other distro packages" link (with title "provided by Repology") pointing at the packages list for the Repology project corresponding to the current Debian source package. https://repology.org/tools/project-by?repo=debian_$suite&name_type=srcname&target_page=project_packages&name=$srcpkg In the future there might be additional things to add like a patches URL or action items for invalid URLs (see #898031). -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
