Bug 892591 – Available upstream version is omitted (on dev-lang/julia)

• Product: Websites
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alexander Kurakin 2023-01-30 11:40:41 UTC]

`dev-lang/julia-bin` (`1.8.3`) shows `Version 1.8.5 is available upstream` [1] while `dev-lang/julia` (`1.8.3-r2`) doesn't [2].

`metadata.xml` are the same. Not in `ignored-packages`.

This is an issue to report to repology. Could you do that at https://github.com/repology/repology-rules and link it here please? Thanks.

We could work around it though: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/b793f4da5a5b5e20a063ea431500a820

> This is an issue to report to repology. 

But why? Both `dev-lang/julia-bin` and `dev-lang/julia` link to the same Repology item:

https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-lang/julia-bin -> https://repology.org/project/julia-bin -> https://repology.org/project/julia/versions

https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-lang/julia -> https://repology.org/project/julia -> https://repology.org/project/julia/versions

Or, do you mean, that the situation differs via API? Then, why does it work for surrogate `julia-bin` but original `julia`?

[Comment 3 Sam James 2023-01-30 13:10:56 UTC]

Oh, I see (this would've been worth saying originally). Repology already knows our julia-bin and julia are both the same upstream.

    update/repology: fix affected packages and latest version
    
    - repology json can combine multiple gentoo packages into one "group"
      (for example normal and "-bin" packages). Mark outdated for all those
      packages.
    - when selecting current latest version, instead of using the last entry
      in array, version compare them and select latest.
