Add xmake repository about repology-updater HOT 3 CLOSED

Sorry, lua scripts are not suitable data source.

from repology-updater.

Here, it's the only data source and it's not really Lua, it looks like data (as far as repology is concerned) and can be parsed like other kind of data. But I would understand that it may be too difficult for you as it's not a standardized format like JSON.

No, it does not look like data, its lua code. It contains substitutions (in almost every add_urls call, sometimes with complex transformations thru lambda functuons), conditions (if is_plat, if is_arch) which affects urls, versions and patches, path processing code for patches and even some complex url/version alias such as in asio package. It's not "too complex", it's not possible to process without executing the code. You can do that on your side to generate machine readable data such as json.
