Hi, I had written last year about my tool https://maintainer.zq1.de/ but it has seen some improvements recently. Initially it was meant as a help for screening openSUSE bugs on bugzilla and getting them to the right people. You can ask it about things like "bash", "ls", "/usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav", or "Mesa(x86_64)" and it will find out which package you are interested in (if it is in Factory). I fixed bug #1 about not being able to handle multiple results (e.g. two packages provide "python" or "httpd") but I also extended it to know about package versions in other Linux distributions. I managed to support most relevant actively maintained distributions, which is opensuse gentoo archlinux altlinux centos fedora mageia debian ubuntu slackware making around 8 different base-distributions And that made me think once again of our 2011-04-01 joke about the Canterbury Project and how many people liked the idea of different distributions working more closely together. At least now there is a place for packagers to quickly check out how other distributions are solving things, because I link to their package search, which usually allows to view their patches and spec-file or equivalent. We might even promote that tool (or a task-focused derivative of it) towards maintainers of other linux distributions because they certainly could benefit as well from not always having to re-invent the wheel. What do you think? How could I improve my tool? Ciao Bernhard M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
