💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, so this whole manual page is about a little Perl thing called Config::Model::models::Dpkg::Upstream::Metadata::Registry — it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the 3pm section, and it's a Configuration class Dpkg::Upstream::Metadata::Registry. that's literally the whole name. iconic. periodt. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically, this is one of those configuration classes used by Config::Model — you know, the whole setup where the config knows itself. 🫶

And what does this particular field do? It shall point to external catalogs/registries of software. not a vibe, a fact.

The field features an array of "Name (of registry) - Entry (ID of software in that catalog)" pairs. so like, you're giving it a little buddy system: registry name, dash, software ID. cute. coordinated. slay. ✨

And here's the rule, and it's a real one: the names and entries shall only be names, not complete URIs, to avoid any bias on mirrors etc. so no full URLs in here, bestie — just the names, keep it neutral, keep it fair. no cap. 🌈

✨ Elements ✨

🎀 Name - Name (of registry) 🎀

The valid Name entries for Registry are, and I'm listing every single one because we do not skip:

  • bio.tools
  • biii
  • OMICtools
  • SciCrunch
  • conda:bioconda
  • opam
  • PyPI

Other channels of conda can be referenced analogously by their name, for instance conda:conda-forge or conda:r — but may not yet be prepared to be interpreted. so like, you can write them, just don't be shocked if nothing understands them yet. 🙈

💀 Special value of Entry NA means that a catalog/registry is confirmed to not have an entry for this software. like a certified "nope, we checked, it's not there" — which, honestly? very thorough of them.

Optional. Type uniline. yes ma'am, one line only, keep it tight. 💜

🍓 Entry - ID of software in that catalog 🍓

Optional. Type uniline. that's it, that's the whole entry (pun fully intended, I'm so sorry, I'm not sorry). ✨
