Description Mark Guertin 2002-11-12 00:25:42 UTC
http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/index.xml  
 
Any pacakges that are not 'x86' pkgs (i.e. x11-misc/xeasyconf ) don't show up 
in the packages lists online.

Might also be good to remove meekrob as default for website and replace with 
drobbins or bug-wranglers

MArk, yeah, I'll talk to kabau when I see him. He was supposed to have done that
already

Has anyone had a chance to look at this?  Or is the bug in the pit of hell like
many others I've filed recently?
Comment 4 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-11-21 14:32:52 UTC
any python coders around to do this? I will dabble in it, but I am not sure 
what to do...

I dont have access to angel or I would take a look myself
Comment 6 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-02 08:52:06 UTC
gerk:
the scripts are in gentoo-xml, which is in the gentoo-src tree. Could you 
possibly take a look please?

Comment 7 Mark Guertin 2002-12-02 09:41:14 UTC
Took a quick look, it doesn't look like there will be an easy fix from the way
it's setup.

Because of the way it's setup (using bestmatch methods) it will be very specific
to the hardware that it's running on , and its not something I would be
into/able to rewrite easily.

So in fact it is only showing x86 pkgs, and not ppc, sparc, sparc64 or alpha
(potentially).
Comment 8 Mark Guertin 2002-12-02 09:51:10 UTC
Hmm after taking a closer look at this listing, I'm not sure on the approach
they use, bestmatch will give the most current available version for that pkg,
given the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, ARCH, etc etc

Is this the best approach to use for this or would a more comprehensive pkg
listing be better for our site?  A more compreshensive one could also
potentially change the formatting, etc as it may show multiple versions for a
pkg (like latest stable, latest testing, etc).

This could get complicated ;)  just a word of warning.  I think we may have to
take this to core to get some reactions before moving ahead with anything.

drobbins and gerk fixed this. it should be on the site.
