Maybe something like:
(define %package-metrics
`((,package-name . 4)
(,package-upstream-name* . 4) ;or a lower weight, dunno
…))
where:
(define (package-upstream-name* package)
(or (assoc-ref (package-properties package) 'upstream-name)
(package-name-sans-namespace package))) ;strip "r-", "emacs-", etc.
WDYT?
(Perhaps ‘package-upstream-name’ could be taught about these implicit
name conversions done for R, Python, Emacs, etc.?)
