The core group of the CRUX Linux i am contributing ports to installed
some repology json i think it was info on the ports master server;
ie now repology looks at the json data, and this seems to happen
"almost instantly".
I personally like it very much as i do not install things like
ck4up or similar utilities to track upstream changes -- what does
not come in via oss-security or announcement mails (which often
are forgotten, take st: huhu!!!) may linger a bit.
