Look at the output of https://apps.fedoraproject.org/mdapi/rawhide/pkg/irssi and you'll notice that the requires section includes things like perl(Exporter). But going to "https://apps.fedoraproject.org/mdapi/rawhide/pkg/perl(Exporter)" produces a 404. The correct URL is https://apps.fedoraproject.org/mdapi/rawhide/pkg/perl-Exporter.
requires
perl(Exporter)
So my questions are:
"name"
.so
Can we make it a law that any name that mdapi produces in a "name" field will result in a non-404 result? I.e., handle the mapping internally?
So I'm not really sure about this, I really kinda want to keep the logic in mdapi as minimal as possible, to me it should just expose what's in the repo metadata. If there some logic needed, imho it should be in the client, not the server.
For the record (since we already discussed it in IRC), a solution around this might be to use the provides/ endpoints if pkg/ returns a 404: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/mdapi/rawhide/provides/perl(Exporter)
provides/
pkg/
