And this is mostly cruft if I'm not going to use much else from devscripts, so that's nothing to say against Perl, just to be sure. The entire gpg/gnupg stack is even more of a no go for me, maybe it's possible to put rmadison in its own package. I have doubts though, coupled as these things usually are. You can do something roughly like it with a script, obviously, but it's not a 10-liner. Then there is Repology, but that shows only a few of Debian's repositories and I agree, an (end user) option for the command line would be nice. Oliver
