This is more developer-oriented than user-oriented, I think we would need apps.debian.org for a user-oriented view of Debian's AppStream meta-data. This would be my proposal (I won't volunteer) for replacing upstream-metadata.debian.net: Update vcswatch to scan each repo for upstream metadata files and export those. Update the UDD gatherer to use the Contents-source files from the local mirror and extract upstream metadata files. Update the UDD gatherer to import the vcswatch results too. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
