Results of six months of the Repology project, which analyzes information about package versions

Another six months have passed, and the project Repology, which regularly collects and compares package version information from numerous repositories, publishes its latest report.

  • The number of supported repositories has exceeded 230. Support has been added for BunsenLabs, Pisi, Salix, Solus, T2 SDE, Void Linux, ELRepo, Mer Project, GNU Elpa and MELPA package repositories, MSYS2 (msys2, mingw), and a set of extended OpenSUSE repositories. The deprecated Rudix repository has been removed.
  • Repository updates have been accelerated.
  • The link availability checking system (i.e., URLs specified in packages as project homepages or links to distributions) has been reworked and moved to a separate project, with added support for availability checks over IPv6, detailed status display (an example), and improved diagnostics for DNS and SSL issues.
  • A widely used Python module for fast streaming parsing of large JSON files without loading them entirely into memory has also been formalized into a separate project.
