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?
Thanks, Pierre
