This is the one and only web service that tracks relationships between FOSS program versions and OS versions. Very disappointing to see it down because I think the dataset is not shared (correct me if I’m wrong).
It impacts other websites that refer to repology.org, like this:
https://www.kaidan.im/2023/05/05/kaidan-0.9.0/
(update) A month ago they had domain registrar issues:
https://github.com/repology/repology-rs/issues/560
They overcame that, so it’s unclear what the problem has been the past couple days. In any case, would someone with MS Github access please create some bug reports? Three reports would be useful:
(bug) site is down(see update below)- (feature request) ask them to consider deploying an onion site
(feature request) ask them to consider sharing their dataset so the world is not dependent on the continuous availability of their website
Update
After trial-and-error, it turns out repology.org is online, but they have started blocking Chrome-based browsers. They do in fact offer an API and database dump. So the only remaining problem is the lack of onion service.
