Re: [ELPA] New package: repology.el

[Jean Louis]

Example user experience with repology:

1. M-x load-file RET repology.el RET
2. M-x repology RET s search RET toys OK RET

then I can find list like below.

docbook-toys              5     -            -
etoys                     40    5.0.2408     4.0.2340

and many others. Then if I click on `etoys' I get list like:

In the same manner I can stumble upon nvidia or other non-free
graphics drivers, and plethora of other non-free software:

Most of times it will not say clearly "non-free" as I have just listed
those from Debian non-free.

GNU ELPA should not provide access to an indexed catalogue of non-free
software.
