Publish package list in repology

[jayvdb]

Adding the Hunter package list to https://repology.org/ allows library maintainers an easy place to see the library in all packaging systems, especially identifying which are out of date and the maintainer to contact.

It will also give hunter more visibility to potential users.

https://github.com/repology/ is a meta-repo of packages in various packaging systems.

The list of supported repositories is at https://repology.org/repositories/ , and includes conan, vcpkg and Buckaroo.

Here is the entry for tinydir, showing it is available in conan and vcpkg
https://repology.org/project/tinydir/versions

Interesting, how does one go about adding each package? Manually?

[jayvdb]

No. See https://repology.org/addrepo

@prince-chrismc Thanks! Looks like they rejected it though 😢

First step is to generate a .json file of the packages, probably as part of the docs, e.g. in https://github.com/cpp-pm/hunter/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci-docs.yml
