Bug 845009 – Link to Repology using fully-qualified Gentoo package coordinates, i.e., CAT/PN, instead of just PN

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Websites

[Description Florian Schmaus 2022-05-16 14:35:06 UTC]

Some 'Repology' links on p.g.o point to "unkown projects". For example
on https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/games-simulation/EmptyEpsilon
the 'Repology' link points to
https://repology.org/project/EmptyEpsilon, however the Repology name
is emptyepsilon.

The Repology developer thankfully pointed me to
https://repology.org/tools/project-by?repo=gentoo&name_type=srcname&target_page=project_versions,
which allows us to link from p.g.o using the Gentoo package
coordinates. This has two advantages
1) It is robust and functional in the case described above
2) It supports packages with the same name (but different categories)

Reproducible: Always

How about to add a remote-id for Repology?

    Link to repology by Gentoo package coordinates
    
    Some 'Repology' links on p.g.o point to "unkown projects". For example
    on https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/games-simulation/EmptyEpsilon
    the 'Repology' link points to
    https://repology.org/project/EmptyEpsilon, however the Repology name
    is emptyepsilon.
    
    The Repology developer thankfully pointed me to
    https://repology.org/tools/project-by?repo=gentoo&name_type=srcname&target_page=project_versions,
    which allows us to link from p.g.o using the Gentoo package
    coordinates. This has two advantages
    1) It is robust and functional in the case described above
    2) It supports packages with the same name (but different categories)
    
    Hence, this changes the 'Repology' link to use Gentoo package
    coordinates.
