Package: packagesearch
Version: 2.7.3
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I just prepared a patch (#727626) for goplay to reduce its dependency on
libept: the popcon and axi modules are rather useless, and I'd like to
get rid of them in future versions of the library.

ept::axi is only used to get the path to the Xapian index: that can be
hardcoded as /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/index, like it is in libept.

ept::popcon is used to read a popcon dataset manually downloaded in
/var/lib/popcon. That is inconvenient, and nobody would keep it up to
date. apt-xapian-index has a better way of tracking popcon data, let's
just use that. The patch shows how, but it's basically a matter of
running doc.get_value on a Xapian::Document for a package, using the
right index.

Let me know if I can help. I tried to look at the code and make a patch,
but I couldn't understand the plugin structure well enough to try.


Ciao,

Enrico
