And the non-packagebased stuff you could do with mole too
1 - Run checkers on packages (lintian, piuparts, linda)
2 - Rebuild packages, check whether they correspond good enough with what's in
3 the archive (still build? No added/dropped dependencies/other stuff?)
4 - Try building under 'weird' environments: different kernel, different
5 filesystem (XFS has some nasty stuff), as root, etc
6 - Extract data you want readily available: changelog, watch files, copyright, control file
7 - Look at and compare/process such data: override disparities, installability
8 by comparing the control files, etc
9 - Extract library type data (exported symbols, required symbols)
10 - Again, look at, and compare and warn about issues
11 - Store human-supplied info (graphics, descriptions, reviews)
12
13 Non-package based:
14 - By bug: store who sent in comments, so that you can easily search that
15 - By mirror: check whether the mirror is still alive and uptodate
16 - By maintainer: which packages one maintains
17 - By source: which binary packages are there (and use it throughout all the rest)
