7 Package searches can be performed by issuing HTTP GET requests of the form
8 +/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=_field_&arg=_keywords_+ where _keywords_ is the
9 search argument and _field_ is one of the following values:
11 * `name` (search by package name only)
12 * `name-desc` (search by package name and description)
13 * `maintainer` (search by package maintainer)
15 The _by_ parameter can be skipped and defaults to `name-desc`.
17 If a maintainer search is performed and the search argument is left empty, a
18 list of orphan packages is returned.
23 Package information can be obtained by issuing HTTP GET requests of the form
24 +/rpc/?v=5&type=info&arg[]=_pkg1_&arg[]=_pkg2_&...+ where _pkg1_, _pkg2_, ...
25 are the names of packages to retrieve package details for.
