[gentoo-dev] Script to determine packages missing the metadata.xml file.

[gentoo-dev] Script to determine packages missing the metadata.xml file.

[Markus Nigbur]

I wrote a little python script to lookup packages that still have no metadata.xml file.

>From the --help switch:
pyrania@powerix $ metadata -h
Usage:
      metadata <category>/<package>
      * Checks whether the <package> in <category> has a metadata.xml file.
 
      metadata -p | --package <package>
      * Checks whether the <package> has a metadata.xml file.
 
      metadata -c | --category <category>
      * Returns a list of packages in <category> missing the metadata.xml file.
 
      metadata -s | --statistics
      * Number of total packages and those who miss the file.
 
      metadata -a | --all
      * For a complete list of packages missing the file.
 
 
Optionally:
      -d | --developer
      * Displays the developer with most changelog entries.


NOTE: Don't use --all without grep. Currently 4048 out of 5122 packages miss the file (--statistics). This would produce a hugh list ;)

The workaround bash function just got replaced in pure python.

Grab version 0.1.3.
