====================

Package Search
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Package searches can be performed by issuing HTTP GET requests of the form
|
|
+/rpc?v=5&type=search&by=_field_&arg=_keywords_+ where _keywords_ is the
|
|
search argument and _field_ is one of the following values:
|
|
|
|
* `name` (search by package name only)
|
|
* `name-desc` (search by package name and description)
|
|
* `maintainer` (search by package maintainer)
|
|
* `depends` (search for packages that depend on _keywords_)
|
|
* `makedepends` (search for packages that makedepend on _keywords_)
|
|
* `optdepends` (search for packages that optdepend on _keywords_)
|
|
* `checkdepends` (search for packages that checkdepend on _keywords_)
|
|
|
|
The _by_ parameter can be skipped and defaults to `name-desc`.
|
|
|
|
If a maintainer search is performed and the search argument is left empty, a
|
|
list of orphan packages is returned.
|
|
|
|
Package Details
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Package information can be obtained by issuing HTTP GET requests of the form
|
|
+/rpc?v=5&type=info&arg[]=_pkg1_&arg[]=_pkg2_&...+ where _pkg1_, _pkg2_, ...
|
|
are the names of packages to retrieve package details for.
|
|
|
|
Request Types
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The GET method here parses arguments in an odd way due to `v=5` historically
|
|
supporting this ordering. Later versions will remove support for this kind
|
|
of parsing, and the POST method is our first step toward solving it.
|
|
|
|
* `GET`
|
|
- Search arguments are constructed using the last found argument(s).
|
|
If the last related argument is `arg[]`, we collect arguments from
|
|
end to start until we hit a non-`arg[]` argument. If the last related
|
|
argument is `arg`, it used as the one and only argument.
|
|
* `POST`
|
|
- Search arguments are constructed using `[arg] + args` where
|
|
`args == arg[]`.

Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
`search`::
|
|
`/rpc?v=5&type=search&arg=foobar`
|
|
`search` by maintainer::
|
|
`/rpc?v=5&type=search&by=maintainer&arg=john`
|
|
`search` packages that have _boost_ as `makedepends`::
|
|
`/rpc?v=5&type=search&by=makedepends&arg=boost`
|
|
`search` with callback::
|
|
`/rpc?v=5&type=search&arg=foobar&callback=jsonp1192244621103`
|
|
`info`::
|
|
`/rpc?v=5&type=info&arg[]=foobar`
|
|
`info` with multiple packages::
|
|
`/rpc?v=5&type=info&arg[]=foo&arg[]=bar`
