You can remove lines 41, 42 and 27 also
@shanavas786 I think we should also search in https://alioth-archive.debian.org/git/pkg-javascript/ and https://alioth-archive.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ as some packages may not be migrated to salsa. This can be done only as a fallback case in case the module is not found in salsa.
yes, but alioth-archive doesn't provide search functionality as alioth did.
Either we have to search name in the body of above pages or use HEAD request to check if the file exists there.
I was checking if alioth-archive supports HEAD request but the server seems to be very slow.
The later one is seems to be better fit
To list the packages with similar names, we have to follow the former approach.
@shanavas786 I think we can just cache two pages (pkg-javascript and collab-maint) and do a local regex search. They will not be changing again.
Or even embed the list inside npm2deb
if we embed, we can remove the packages already on salsa.
we use https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Database for similar purpose. I think its better we create another page for packages not ported to salsa.
But that is for a dynamic data, here this data will never change. I don't see any benefit to making it dynamic.
Or rather, it will only reduce and become zero when all repos are migrated.
Your call, I'm fine with creating a wiki page as well.
Since, alioth is recently shut down, We should stop searching on anonscm
