Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

A new locate implementation. The m character stands for merging, because updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid re-reading most of the file system.

Packages by operating system

Compare recorded versions, then open a package for dependency, file, checksum, and repository evidence. Version strings are distribution-specific, not a ranking of newer software.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.

No field-level source record is published yet.
