Repology: Free Open-Source Package Information Platform

Repology is a free open-source platform that collects and visualizes package information across many Linux and BSD distributions, enabling developers and users to track package versions across repositories.

What is Repology?

Repology is a free and open-source platform that collects package and version information from various software repositories of Linux and BSD distributions. It aggregates the data and provides convenient web interfaces to explore and analyze it.

Some of the key features of Repology include:

• Tracking version history of over 1 million software packages across over 1050 repositories and 143 Linux/BSD distributions.
• Comparison of package versions across different distros to see version lags or inconsistencies.
• View build errors, vulnerability alerts, maintainers changes for packages across repositories.
• Subscription to notifications about new package versions, build issues via RSS/Atom feeds or email.
• REST API to integrate Repology data into other applications.
• Data available under the terms of Creative Commons CC0 1.0 license for free reuse.

Repology helps developers and packagers ensure their upstream releases are packaged timely in target distributions. It assists security analysts to identify distributions lagging in packaging security fixes. For users, it enables checking if their distro provides up-to-date version of applications or whether a package rebuild was broken recently.
