Open dlebauer opened 2 years ago

dlebauer commented 2 years ago

Description

Currently, tags / keyword labels are taken from the repository. But we have many packages and not all of the repository tags apply to each one. Currently if someone searches for 'meta-analysis', and PEcAn.logger appears in the results. Once we get a lot more packages up, the results for the tags we use will be overwhelmed by lots of packages (e.g. meta-analysis will return all of the PEcAn packages).

Proposed Solution

Tags can be specified on a per package basis by adding them to the using the X-schema.org-keywords field in the package DESCRIPTION, as described in r-universe-org/help: Support and bug tracker for R-universe (github.com). If this

Alternative Solutions

  1. Update repository level tags so that they are more generic (probably a bad idea)
    • but, it could be a good time to review the repo level tags to make sure they are correct
  2. Ignore the problem
