The bot used to fill useful data for software project entries from Repology project.

Currently supported tasks

• Filling missing package properties based on Repology information on existing packages for a given software project.

• Gentoo package (P3499)
• Arch Linux package (P3454)
• AUR package (P4162)
• FreeBSD port (P7427)
• LibreGameWiki ID (P6666) (partial support)
• crates.io ID (P4763)
• RubyGems gem ID (P5566)
• CRAN project (P5565)
• GNU ELPA package ID (P6823)
• MELPA package ID (P6888)
• NetBSD package ID (P7966)
• OpenBSD port (P7967)
• Homebrew formula name (P8443)

Tasks to support in future

• Filling remaining of package properties:

• Debian stable package (P3442)
• Fedora package (P3463)
• Ubuntu package (P3473)
• openSUSE package (P7788)
• Chocolatey Community package ID (P10766)
• Mageia package (P12030)
• SlackBuilds package (P12077)

• Marking non-existent package claims with deprecated rank

Some of these may not be supported right away because Repology primarily operates with source packages, while Wikidata links to binary packages.

I'm also planning to propose more package properties (such as, for example, FreeBSD port) which can be supported by Repology and this bot right away, so this list may be extended.

• Filling Repology project name (P6931) based on already defined package properties
• Correcting version information, such as setting preferred rank on a latest version (no plans to add new version items though, as Repology does not have enough confidence and references for that)
