hey @pleia2 looks like ubuntu has their own package search tool..directly scrapping off packages from that seems a bit counter-intuitive to me

pleia2 commented 1 year ago

Most of them do, in fact the one for openSUSE searches several different distros! But folks didn't like being pointed at a bunch of different websites to search, which is why we created this consolidated tool. One spot, search everything 😄

yep @pleia2 @arshPratap that's what I had observed when i picked the issue up, we were basically scraping off data from package download websites for all the other distros. So would my PR be considered valid now?

pleia2 commented 1 year ago

So I realized we can just pull from data provided by the PDS project for Ubuntu, they've now updated their repository here https://github.com/linux-on-ibm-z/PDS/blob/master/distro_data/Ubuntu_23_04_Package_List.json

Apologies for making you do double-work! I'll close this one out, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server should always default to PDS data.

Oh no worries it was fun diving through stuff and finding a lot of things which i may use in the future :)
