Hi all, Here is a quick way to test the upstream-metadata system. For instance, I will add Name data for the libdata-stag-perl package. First, let's check that the system does not yet know about the package: curl http://upstream-metadata.debian.net/libdata-stag-perl/Name # (returns nothing) Then, let's add the data in the source package's repository: # Checkout the package debcheckout -a libdata-stag-perl cd libdata-stag-perl # Enter the data cat > debian/upstream-metadata.yaml <<__HOPLA__ Name: Data::Stag __HOPLA__ # Commit svn add debian/upstream-metadata.yaml svn commit -m "Added Name upstream metadata for libdata-stag-perl" Et voila! It is in the upstream-metadata system. curl http://upstream-metadata.debian.net/libdata-stag-perl/Name # (Returns ‘Data::Stag’) My current approach, for which I hope show some proof of principle soon, is to export the data in a public directory, for loading in the Ultimate Debian Database, that would be the reference for the data. Currently, I have loaded some bibliographic information about scientific packages in a local copy of the UDD. We want to incorporate this information in the “web sentinel” pages produced by the Blends framework.
