Got the idea from kernel.org Why not have https://www.alpinelinux.org/releases.json The fields in json file can be ones as seen on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux (right Infobox). Also if possible https://www.alpinelinux.org/distrowatch.json Since there is no standard on this yet additional fields may be added. (or is there a standard on it ?) I think other distros should also do it. -- Regards. V.Krishn --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---

I am not sure how it is done presently. -- Regards. V.Krishn --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
