If you query for a non-existing branch (for example: f14), it will return a 400 error. If you query for a non-existing package (for example: foo), it will return a 404 error. For any other error, it should return a 500 error. If you see those and it is not transient, please inform an admin. USAGE ===== List all branches ----------------- The list of all branches for which mdapi contains information can be found at: /branches /branches Note: The src_* branches refer to the source repositories metadata, they will thus return you information about the source package. So to find the BuildRequires of a package, check its requires provided in its information against in a src_* branch. Retrieve information about a package ------------------------------------ You can retrieve information about a specific package on a specific branch by querying: /{branch}/pkg/{package name} So for example, for the kernel in rawhide: /rawhide/pkg/kernel You can also retrieve information about a specific package on a specific branch via the name of its source package by querying: /{branch}/srcpkg/{package name} So for example, for the python-natsort in rawhide that only exists as src.rpm: /rawhide/srcpkg/python-natsort Retrieve the list of files in a package --------------------------------------- You can retrieve the list of files present in the specific package on a specific branch by querying: /{branch}/files/{package name} So for example, for the kernel-core in rawhide: /rawhide/files/kernel-core Retrieve the changelog of a package ----------------------------------- You can retrieve the changelog of a specific package on a specific branch by querying: /{branch}/{package name} So for example, for the kernel in rawhide: /rawhide/changelog/kernel Retrieve the packages having a specific property ------------------------------------------------ You can retrieve the list of packages having a specific property. These properties can be any of: requires, provides, obsoletes, conflicts, enhances, recommends, suggests, supplements. /{property}/{package name} For example to retrieve the list of packages that require a specific package: /requires/{package name} Few examples: packages requiring R in rawhide: /rawhide/requires/R To see what R itself requires, check its information using: /rawhide/pkg/R packages providing perl(SetupLog) in rawhide: /rawhide/provides/perl(SetupLog) packages obsoleting cabal2spec in rawhide: rawhide/obsoletes/cabal2spec packages conflicting with mariadb in rawhide: rawhide/conflicts/mariadb packages enhancing httpd in rawhide: rawhide/enhances/httpd packages recommending flac in rawhide: rawhide/recommends/flac packages suggesting R-tools in rawhide: rawhide/suggests/R-tools packages supplementing `(hunspell and langpacks-fr)` in rawhide: rawhide/supplements/(hunspell and langpacks-fr) |‾| | | |‾|/‾‾˙ |‾'‾‾\|‾'‾‾\|‾| |‾| |‾| | | (‾| | |‾) | |‾) | | | | | | | |\ ‾, | ,‾ /| ,‾ / \ ‾ , ‾, | ‾ ‾‾ ‾ ‾ ‾‾ | |‾‾ ‾‾‾ ‾‾ ‾ (‾) | | ‾ ‾ © 2015-2022 - Red Hat, Inc. - GPLv3+ - Sources: https://github.com/fedora-infra/mdapi/
