IDK if there could be better source for this.
Sure, if everyone would participate it could solve this issue. But reusing my above example expat: https://release-monitoring.org/project/770/ Unfortunately only Alpine, Arch and Fedora are listed. And it looks like release-monitoring.org doesn't track the name of the libraries (which are probably subpackages). Nevertheless, release-monitoring.org could solve this issue. > > > Vít > > >> >> >> Cheers, >> >> Dan >> >> Valor Naram <valin...@gmx.net> writes: >> >>> Dear Fedora mailing list community, >>> >>> I am Sören alias Valor Naram and I founded the project "goeasyLinux".
