Development versions are on alpha.gnu.org. You can get patch 2.5.9 from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/. I admit this is confusing, there should
be ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/patch/, at least with a readme file.
That would only solve the problem for the program, "patch".
It would be extremely useful for there to be a CGI page that could
map program names, library call names, etc. to projects.
All you need is a consistent way for projects to feed the relevant
data to the database. :) eg:
tar -xzvf ${projtarball}
cd ${project}*
./configure --prefix=/tmp/${project}
make
make install
# find all the documented things this project provides
#
echo ${project} $(
find /tmp/${project}/man -type f | \
sed 's,.*/,,;s,\..*,,'
) > ../${project}.provides
or do something equivalent with .texi files. :)
