Source-reported description

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

Pure Python package to guess whether a file is binary or text. It uses three layers of detection: 1. Extension check: Recognizes 131 file types by name for instant classification. 2. File signatures: Checks headers against known magic-byte signatures. 3. Content analysis: Uses a trained decision tree for statistical classification.

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.
