Hi Dmitry, The ordering is definitely a bug here that we should fix up and will. Otherwise, we'd just like to make sure that the info format is uniform with the RPC; beyond that, we can without a doubt add other fields if they're needed for good reason. Do you mind reporting that in the form of an [Bug] issue on gitlab? That helps us a lot with keeping track of these things. Thanks a lot for your feedback and your quick action!

Hi!

In addition to pre-existing archives, we've introduced two new archives that can be used instead of bulk queries against the RPC.

Thanks a lot for doing this, I'm switching Repology right onto the new dump. This simplifies and speeds up repository metadata update in many ways and also provides consistent information from one point in time.

I've verified that the contents I've been getting through the API (/rpc/?v=5&type=info for all packages from packages.gz) are the same except from minor differerences in License ordering (can you confirm that it's stable?) and the fact that unicode characters in descriptions are now correctly represented (abra package as example). Just FYI.

I wonder how hard it will be to also provide download URLs in this dump. For instance, Repology uses these to report dead URLs.
