debian data released

I collected some debian package data and started parsing it to see what kind of stuff we might find in there.

I will probably need some help from the user community on this one, to know what sort of data you find interesting in these packages.

Here are the files I collected:


Obviously there is a lot of information there, and I only parsed some of it out for this initial run. Here are the items I parsed and released:

  • package name, version, parent directory
  • any URLs found in the copyright page, and any URLs found within the textual description of the project found on the stable project page
  • developers (maintainers and co-maintainers listed on the developer information page)


I'd love to hear from the community about what items you would like to see parsed out.
