whohas – 跨发行版、跨软件仓库的包搜索命令行工具
whohas – Command-line utility for cross-distro, cross-repository package search

## whohas：跨发行版软件包查询工具 `whohas` 是一个 Perl 命令行工具，旨在查询多个 Linux 和 BSD 发行版中的软件包可用性，包括 Arch、Debian、Fedora、Gentoo 等（目前支持 17 个）。 最初 intended for 软件包维护者研究其他发行版中的实现，它对于想要知道哪个发行版提供特定应用程序及其版本的普通用户也很有用。 `whohas` 输出软件包名称、版本、日期、仓库以及用于进一步详细信息的 URL。 用户可以使用 `grep` 来 refine 搜索 – 例如，查找特定发行版（如 Arch Linux）的软件包。 该工具提供标准化的输出格式，允许使用 `cut` 等命令进行解析。 开发者鼓励发行版提供 web 查询接口，提供软件包名称、版本、日期、大小和进一步的信息。 更多信息和 bug 报告可以在 [http://www.philippwesche.org/200811/whohas/intro.html](http://www.philippwesche.org/200811/whohas/intro.html) 找到。 相关的服务，如 Repology ([https://repology.org/](https://repology.org/)) 和 pkgs.org ([https://pkgs.org/](https://pkgs.org/)) 提供类似的功能。

whohas is a command line tool that allows querying several package lists at once - currently supported are Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mageia, Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware, Source Mage, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Fink, MacPorts and Cygwin. whohas is written in Perl and was designed to help package maintainers find ebuilds, pkgbuilds and similar package definitions from other distributions to learn from. However, it can also be used by normal users who want to know:

  • Which distribution has packages available for apps upon whom the user depends.
  • What version of a given package is in use in each distribution, or in each release of a distribution (implemented only for Debian).

whohas gives urls to more details about the package. I recommend using a terminal that recognises hyperlinks and allows easy forwarding to the browser.

You can use grep to improve your search results:

whohas gimp | grep "gimp "

The space will ensure that only results for the package gimp are displayed, not for gimp-print etc.

whohas gimp | grep Arch
whohas gimp | grep -i arch

Either one of the above will display results for Arch Linux only. If you are interested in the search term or package arch, and want results for Arch Linux only,

whohas arch | grep "^Arch"

Example output:

The first column is the name of the distribution, the second the name of the package, the third the version number, then the date, repository name and a url linking to more information about the package. Future versions will have package size information, too. Column lengths are fixed, so you can use cut:

whohas vim | grep " vim " | cut -b 36-45

The first bytes of the data fields at the time of writing are 11, 37, 48, 59 and 71.

I would like to encourage distributors at this time to provide web query interfaces to package lists, and specifically provide the following information: package name, version, date, size and a url to further information (maintainer, build information etc.)

Additional remarks: Debian refers to the binary distribution. Slackware queries Current only. All details (including availability, version numbers and binary sizes) are for the x86 architecture, although this cannot be assured for either Debian or Gentoo in the current version of whohas. I recommend you consult the URLs provided in the output.
