Hello, At FOSDEM I talked with someone that is working on packageurl and he suggested it would be nice if KDE adopted it. What is package url? "PURL introduces a standardized URL-based syntax that uniquely identifies software packages" Example: pkg:deb/debian/[email protected]?arch=i386&distro=jessie https://packageurl.org/ https://tc54.org/purl/ https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/blob/main/README.md I guess one should say something like pkg:kde/[email protected]?qualifiers And then for qualifiers we would have to think what to do, do we care only about tarballs? Or do we want to include all the binary packages we support? I guess if it has to be "unique" it should include the binary packages too. Do we see any value in adopting it? Cheers, Albert
