Why can't this library http://libraries.io/npm/debug be found in this list? http://libraries.io/search?keywords=debug&platforms=NPM

The keyword filtering is slightly borked at the moment, this does work though: http://libraries.io/search?platforms=NPM&q=debug

Good idea but doesn't seem entirely accurate.

This project[http://libraries.io/maven/org.bitbucket.b_c:jose4j] was updated last week but Libraries.io says it hasn't been updated since last year.

http://versioneye.com/ is similar to this and allows to monitor dependency files like pom.xml, Gemfile.lock, package.json, etc.

OTOH, I pushed a new version of http://libraries.io/rubygems/manticore on Sunday and it's found it. Maybe different repos have different update feeds or something?

Are Go libraries split up more granular than npm packages? Surprises me Go has such a large number of projects listed.

Searching "dancer" brought up related perl modules but not the primary one.

They are at the moment, Go doesn't have a central repository like npmjs.org, each project is just a url that you can "go get", I'm trying to find a good way to group them that keeps the full dependency graph intact.

One feature that would be helpful is to parse various formats of dependency specification (Node's package.json, pip's requirements.txt, Maven, etc.) and use that to build dependency lists so that I can (a) get notified of updates and (b) get a list of licenses for internal license audits.

Yep, I'm working on that at the moment.
