#Repology only has marginal support for F-Droid, only seeing a few handpicked packages for software which is also available in Linux:

repology.org/projects/?inrepo=

I've recently had a few PRs which improve F-Droid support and add #IzzyOnDroid, allowing full-fledged version comparison within Android ecosystem.

I wonder if any #fdroid maintainers or @IzzyOnDroid would be interested in that.

@AMDmi3 i can check when i'm back at my desk next week. What would you need from us to support repology for IzzyOnDroid?

@IzzyOnDroid nothing really - just a feedback. Here's, for instance, list of projects in IzzyOnDroid which intersect with other repos (F-Droid, that is, but I am still to recheck if there are any projects which also intersect with *nix repos)

@AMDmi3 Yupp, I've got a similar query with my local tools here as well (comparing the indexes which were loaded into a database). But from the linked page, I cannot see what intersects or tell what it really means – not before I open details of one. Some "title" attributes on the version labels in the list would help.

"This repository does not provide links to package recipes…" – that's on the ToDo list. Not sure if Santa will fit it on his sleigh already…

You mean renaming "Selected" column to something like "In IzzyOnDroid"?

> that's on the ToDo list

The requirement is common to all repos, but I don't really treat it as mandatory for IOD, for as I understand you just provide upstream-built APKs and if there are recipes these are in fact just a manifests with upstream URLs. Stull, having more information including these URLs exposed would be great.

IzzyOnDroid ✅

@AMDmi3 I mean that when hovering over the version labels it could show some details, as it does on the details page. But yeah, adjusting the column names to what they show would be even more intuitive.

And build recipes are publicly available with our builders for Reproducible Builds, if an app is set up for that (currently, 22.6% of the apps at IoD are). The other metadata will become publicly available soon™, hopefully…
