I thought "pkgdb" would become a main interface for anyone who wants to lookup package information without need to interact with Pagure or PDC directly, meanwhile we can keep using current terms about packages e.g. main contacts, that would be easier for anyone to get involved and start to contribute. Will current pkgdb API[1] be still available, or need to query from Pagure or PDC individually? Actually, I don't insist on not drop pkgdb. Whatever it'll be dropped or not and whatever the form it will be, as long as it could make things easier for packagers and potential contributors. :) [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/api/ > > Thanks, > Pierre > > _______________________________________________ > infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -- -- Regards, Chenxiong Qi _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
