~whereiseveryone/toys#176: 
Show all package versions on a package's web page.

The search results look cluttered because all versions of a package are displayed.

http://gpo.zugaina.org/Search?search=mpd is a good example of showing packages versions on a package's web page.

Hi,

This is a nice idea. Maybe we can have a meeting at some point in the near future to discuss the implementation and whether it is worth pursuing.

Would you be interested in implementing or pairing on this feature?

  1. I can't write guile scheme, yet. My programming knowledge comes from other programming languages. I can understand what's going on without learning guile scheme to a degree.
  2. I'm a dedicated gentoo linux user for now. I have considered gnu guix, but I decided to not move to it for now because gnu guix ecosystem is slow or uninterested with ZFS support. I use encrypted ZFS file systems extensively on gentoo linux. Adding zfs support to initrd will require coding and submittion to nonguix because guix maintainers are afraid of lawsuits from Oracle.
  3. I still write tiny scripts here and there, but I want to retire from extensive coding and focus mostly on ideas. I don't like being too much of a computer expert. I want to spend less time with inner details of computers. We can discuss ideas if you want on telegram or anything else that's not a proprietary video conferencing software. zoom was flaky on my gentoo linux system.

More precisely, I am a tinkerer who wants to focus on UI and UX rather than internal code.

I can help with basic program architecture, but I am not an advanced programmer.

After pondering for a while, I realized packages with the same name may not actually be the same program. Thus, the current way is not bad.

However, I found different improvements.

I will submit new issues that explain things in a way that doesn't require a meeting.

Can you close this issue?
