Hi, about a month ago I wrote that I would like to improve the reporting on http://www.szabgab.com/distributions/ by including recent releases of Fedora. (and Red Hat as well) I asked on this list how can I get the list of all the packages included in Fedora N? Ralf has pointed me to some page: On Sat, Mar 8, 2008 at 9:26 AM, Ralf Corsepius <rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I am using this script: > --- snip --- > #!/bin/sh > owners=$(HOME)/src/fedora/local > > lftp \ > -c get "https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugzilla?tg_format=plain"; \ > -o $owners/owners.list.raw > > cat $owners/owners.list.raw | grep '^Fedora|' > $owners/owners.fedora.list > --- snip --- > > And grep'ed the generated owners.fedora.list: > > > grep perl- owners.fedora.list Now I am here in Oslo, the QA Hackathon where I would like to work on this is going to start tomorrow evening so I started to look at this. The above page only gives me a list of perl package names. There is no version number of the perl packages and I don't know to witch version of Fedora and Red Hat do they belong to. I checked the source code of the code that is supposed to fetch the data and generate the reports and as I can see it is now trying to download the files from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/repodata/ There seem to be some xml files describing the modules and as I can see I have already written a partial parser for them.... http://search.cpan.org/dist/Parse-Fedora-Packages/ The problem is that they are only up to Fedora 6 and if I am right the latest is 8. So where is the data for the newer version? regards Gabor -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl Fedora-perl-devel-list mailing list Fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-perl-devel-list
