Official website, software section: provide version information for package(s) in a bundle #1562

Open GrabbenD opened 4 years ago

Currently there's neither version tag(s) in Clear Linux's software section on the official website or in Github for package(s) inside a bundle. This feature would be very useful to get a overview and in turn help to decide if a package update request needs to be made or if it's better to compile manually if a specific version is desired by the end user.

I think the information you are looking is at https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/releases/31880/clear/source/ in the package-sources file. These are the version numbers of every single package available for this particular release of Clear Linux. To figure out which bundle has which package you could search https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-bundles

It would be very nice to have this and other kinds of information about bundle installations, especially in the upcoming new software store application (CL's alternative to GNOME Software Center). For example, an option to check the size of each official bundle installed by CL. Some bundles take up a lot of disk space and having this information provided in one place would be nice.
