I guess we will always need a maintainer database
I plan to produce a list of sources by arch as by product of the current analysis.
here it is including the crude python (*) script I am using: http://matzeri.altervista.org/works/check_maint/ http://matzeri.altervista.org/works/check_maint/pkg_arch.txt Attached the mismatch between 32 bit and 64 bit filtered by $ grep -v -e "cygwin\|perl\|Both" pkg_arch.txt |tee pkg_mismatch.txt to remove the cross-package and the perl subpackages that are the major part of the virtual mismatch. They are around 100 but some are in reality obsoleted as rxvt and aewm++ that are dead upstream, and some are virtual mismatches.
Long term: You enter a new maintainer manually and when the package is finally uploaded an extended setup.hint provides all the information that goes into the package database to fill the temporary blanks. And with a little bit of extra effort each package could eben be checked for (formal) correctness.
big dream ;-) For the time being I suggest to focus on the mismatches and see which programs should be buried as obsolete and which are worth to be ported on 64bit.
Regards, Achim.
*) my real job is not in software, and writing a program every 2-3 year is a very good way to continuously loose practice and relearn a language...
