Hi Everyone,
Following up on the thread about pagure on the top of dist-git
started a
few days ago Ralph Bean, Matthew Prahl and I had a quick meeting just
a few
minutes ago about the future of pkgdb.
Will pkgdb go away? It looks Pagure would be a data store combining
package
repositories and pkgdb data together. From my point of view, pkgdb
could
still sit between packagers and Pagure rather than exposing lower
level data
directly as an interface of package data (whatever it comes from
Pagure or
PDC) to packagers and existing tools like pkgdb-cli. If anything of my understand about current pkgdb is not accurate, just scratch my
thought :)
The idea is indeed to retire pkgdb. However, I'm not sure I follow why
you would
prefer to keep it and what you don't like about dropping it. Could you
expand
your thoughts a little more?
I thought "pkgdb" would become a main interface for anyone who wants to lookup package information without need to interact with Pagure or PDC directly, meanwhile we can keep using current terms about packages e.g. main contacts, that would be easier for anyone to get involved and start to contribute.
I support this. For me is the pkgdb entry point. If I want to know something about package, I'm going to take a look into pkgdb. I'll be missing its simple UI.

There is also the packages app that provides information on packages

Will current pkgdb API[1] be still available, or need to query from Pagure or PDC individually?
Actually, I don't insist on not drop pkgdb. Whatever it'll be dropped or not and whatever the form it will be, as long as it could make things easier for packagers and potential contributors. :)
