* Package name : pkg Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : hg clone http://hg.debian.org/hg/private/enrico/libpkg * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : High-level library for managing Debian package information The library defines a very minimal framework in which many sources of data about Debian packages can be implemented and queried together. . The library includes two data sources: . * APT: access the APT database * Debtags: access the Debtags tag information libept is proving too hard to maintain and I've created a slicker replacement. I've ported the 'debtags' package to this new library with success. I'm about to port 'debtags-edit', after that I'll do the upload of libpkg-dev and libpkg0. This new library makes it very simple to add new data sources. I have plans laid out for a popcon data source, for example, and more could come. It should also be straightforward to swig-bind it to the usual plethora of scripting languages. If anyone is interested in a debconf BoF about it, do let me know.
