Doapfiend 0.2.0 Released

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

I released doapfiend 0.2.0 a few days ago.

It’s been refactored quite a bit and now is easily extensible using setuptools to write plugins.

The first plugin available generates a webpage from a DOAP profile using HTML/CSS.

I’m about to release a plugin for Gentoo Linux that lets you give a Gentoo package name and it’ll find DOAP for it.

It only took a few lines of code to write the Gentoo plugin and should be just as easy for any other distro/package manager. Given a package name, figure out the project’s homepage by looking in an .rmp, .deb or whatever and have doapfiend search by that homepage.
