I begun working on such a tool a few weeks ago. A) It goes over the METADATA (https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl) for all the registered packages and then B) uses the GitHub API to get the README and additional stats (contributions, stars, followers, etc). Planning on C) exposing this as a REST-ful API and D) building a package that can be used from the REPL to search for packages using the API.
A and B are done (though not entirely production ready yet) - C and D are yet to come. I'm building this as an application of a bigger project I'm working on - a full stack web framework. This is going to take more time (I have the ORM at 90% with basic controllers support and routing and serving via Mux) but I can extract just the requirements for this and make it available in a few weeks. If anybody wants to contribute with ideas or dev time, I'd be happy to set up a repo ASAP. marți, 20 ianuarie 2015, 16:32:45 UTC+1, Iain Dunning a scris: > > Just noticed on http://pkg.julialang.org/pulse.html that we are at 499 > registered packages with at least one version tagged that are Julia 0.4-dev > compatible (493 on Julia 0.3). > > Thanks to all the package developers for their efforts in growing the > Julia package ecosystem! > >
