whohas 0.21 (Default branch)
Image whohas is a command line tool that allows you to query several package collections at once. It currently supports Arch Linux (and AUR), Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, openSUSE, Slackware (and linuxpackages.net), Source Mage Linux, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Fink, and MacPorts repositories. whohas was designed to help package maintainers find ebuilds, pkgbuilds, and similar package definitions from other distributions to learn from. However, it can also be used by normal users who want to know which distribution provides certain packages, and which version of a given package is in use in each distribution or in each release of a distribution. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
Gentoo and Fedora were added (again). For Debian, the "testing" repository was enabled in addition to "stable". Performance improvements were made, and wget is no longer depended upon. On Mac OS X, Whohas.app now works without having whohas in your $PATH - the whohas executable is bundled in the app. Image
