libept BOF

Bringing all the information about packages in one place

libept is a library aimed at bringing together all available sources of data about Debian packages. It has now reached unstable, and the package ept-cache can be used to try out its functions.

The library has been rewritten with extreme semplicity in mind, and 5 data sources are implemented in it already: apt, debtags, xapian-based fulltext index of package descriptions, popcon-based scores, results from the local popcon scan.

In the first 20 minutes of the BOF I want to show how libept works, and in the rest I want to discuss where to go next.
