Add rubygems, github, gitorious, pecl, pear, bitbucket.
All of them are handled by my remoteids.py script.

Wouldn't it be better if we kept them sorted?

There were not, so I just appended them, but I can provide another
patch sorting them too if preferred.

I'll appreciate if you could do that, along with that cpan-module
addition, and if noone objects, I'll just commit that.

Just making sure: do github, gitorious and bitbucket provide file
hosting? I know they host repos, but for most ebuilds where remote-id
would be useful, we need tarballs.

I suggested last week on #gentoo-perl that it might be nice to have
'cpan' and 'cpan-module'  ( or something like that ) to disambiguate 2
queryable terms. ( where 'cpan'  => 'the package name on cpan' )

For some purposes, its most convenient to use the distribution name,
and for other purposes, (ie: cpan clients) its more convenient to use
a Module name, and its not easy to translate between the two, as
Module names sometimes switch between packages  they're shipped in.

For instance, a while ago, the BioPerl module was shipped in a
distribution 'bioperl' , which has only recently been changed to
BioPerl


http://api.metacpan.org/release/_search?q=distribution:bioperl&fields=archive,author,date,download_url

http://api.metacpan.org/release/_search?q=distribution:BioPerl&fields=archive,author,date,download_url

http://api.metacpan.org/module/_search?q=module.name:Bio\:\:Perl&fields=distribution,author,release

Looks sane since the goal of remote-id is being able to identify the
package upstream.
Do you think you could patch remotesid.py to generate tags for cpan /
cpan-modules ? Or at least give me a pseudo-algo that does the trick.
Thanks :)

That is sadly not straight forward.  Extracting the package name can
be straight forward if you have the URL, because the package name is
literally the same as the archive name in SRC_URI , sans version
information.

However, if you look at many perl ebuilds, you'll notice many lack
this field and we've got other things in place, so the current parsing
technique you use to detect uses of SRC_URI wont work there ( I could
be wrong, I don't fully grok your python code )

And more-over, determining the value of 'cpan-module' may be
impossible without access to the tar.gz itself, or querying the
MetaCPAN API.

Usually, upstream are sensible and have package names which closely
correspond with the module names, ie: "Dist::Zilla" is shipped in
'Dist-Zilla-$VERSION.tar.gz',  but there are many packages which dont
do this, such as this notable example:
https://metacpan.org/release/Scalar-List-Utils  , which has no modules
corresponding to the package name, and no way to divine the/a 'main'
module from the package itself. ( and this is exacerbated by packages
changing names, or package joins ( 2 packages becoming 1 via releasing
modules together ),  and package splits ( 1 package rips into 2 sets
of modules ).

Essentially, using a cpan-module as an identifier is somewhat
"forwards only" , and even then, what it will resolve to is governed
by time.

This is fine for CPAN clients, which do the resolution hot, using the
whole of CPAN as their data, if a user asks for "Foo::Bar", their cpan
client will ask a cpan server ( or regularly (hourly) updated list )
as to what package that module can be found in ( and this only returns
the most recent package, so name changes and so-forth are invisible to
the user ).

And being helpful to CPAN clients is one of the reasons we want this
value as a specifiable option in the first place. For us, its easier
to track the package name, and then when that has to change we can
manually resolve the issue

Currently it uses SRC_URI and HOMEPAGE, but honestly it wouldn't be
hard to use any other environment variable and to do some checks on a
webservice.
Anyway for tricky cases it can still be done by hand.

If you really want to support Perl Modules, ( which theres not much
need for at present, looks like the team have gone through already for
the most part and added remote-id's where possible already ), anything
that inherits 'perl-module.eclass' has a bit of magic, in that neither
SRC_URI or HOMEPAGE is required in the ebuild, and it just gets the
package name from what gentoo is using.  We've tried to be as close to
upstream as possible for the ease of maintenance.

However, there are still exception cases, for instance, BioPerl has to
define 'MY_PN' to tell the perl-module eclass to use a different token
( and when this is present, it should be sufficient to say that that
should be the remote-id instead of the package name:
    see dev-perl/Moose  # an example with neither src_uri or homepage
    see sci-biology/bioperl # an example where the package name has
been forced overridden as its changed upstream

But resolving module names is much trickier, its easy-ish to map a
module name to a package using the service, but doing it the other way
round is not so straight forward, as one package can have many
modules, and its common in perl to state dependencies in terms of the
module to require, not the package its in, but there's also often a
defacto "main module".

But I'm myself still working out how to best do that with the service
, so auto-populating a "cpan-module" identifier can be left to later,
its just something I considered "useful" to have metadata wise because
that value is more useful to users.

Actually the eclass seems to fill SRC_URI and HOMEPAGE, so when you source
the ebuild they are available.

Nothing, it's one of the cases you'll have to handle by-hand.
Another option is to parse the HTML from
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Scalar-List-Utils/ but I'm not a fan of
HTML-parsing.

Will be far better an option than parsing HTML =)

And even better:

curl -XPOST 'http://api.metacpan.org/module/_search' -d '

	],

What does this mean?
- "latest"? this term looks like maintenance work.
- what is "authorized"?

It doesn't even list "Moose" for Moose?
02packages.details.txt.gz lists 72 package names for Moose-2.0602.

"latest" means that it will fetch metadata for whatever is deemed the
most recent non-dev release, which is really the only sane option to
go for if you want a list of modules that currently pertain to the
distribution.  You could request *all* releases and then find a union
of elements ... but that would be both erroneous and very time
consuming.

metadata.dtd was updated per bug #406287 and it contains the cpan-module
remote-id.

The current patch for dev-perl/* is roughly 800k big:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~tove/files/devperlremoteids.patch

I am going to update the files in the next days.
Now it would be a good time to voice your concerns.

I pushed some fixes in remoteids.py, it now have the ability to remove
dead remote-id.
You should regenerate your patch, or use this one:
http://xf.iksaif.net/dev/gentoo/remoteids/dev-perl.diff
Note that I just made a small change that will make the remote-id
sorted (which is great for cpan-module), if you want it, just
regenerate a patch with: eix --only-names -C dev-perl | ./remoteids.py
--diff --check-all

Oh, and authorized is just "Has this individual release been released
by a person who has been granted permission to release that module",
as per the PAUSE authentication system. ( To compare with indexed,
which can be turned on/off by the releaser with the 'no index' flags ,
to get the authorization bit the module owner has to grant your PAUSE
name rights )

Can we bump our gentoo-x86/skel.metadata.xml and
app-vim/gentoo-syntax:/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/newmetadata.vim
files to display some upstream+remote-id lines to make these tags more
prominent?

Is there any way to verify the <remote-id> data?

What programs/scripts use these fields btw?

I could imagine a test like (i.e. <remote-id
type="sourceforge">$a</remote-id> )
does http://www.fs.net/$a exist.

euscan will soon, and I guess p.g.o will too.

That could probably be done in remoteids.py
