There seems to be a bug; the “Description” field seems to have joined lines together without spaces, leading to such things as “It is conformantto” in the description of Bigloo.

  Since this isn't the original source of this data, it's possible that this happened to the description contents at some point in the past. In which case it wouldn't be trivial to fix.

    Correct. I've done no manipulation of the data that has been read in.

      The bug is not present in the original LSM data (as I showed in another comment), but is present in the JSON data¹: {"author":"Manuel.Serrano@inria.fr (Manuel Serrano)","primary-site":"ftp.inria.fr /INRIA/Projects/icsla4048000 bigloo1.3b.tar.Z\n","maintained-by":"Manuel.Serrano@inria.fr","entered-date":"1996-01-01","version":"1.3","keywords":"","original-site":"","description":"Bigloo is both a interpreter and a compiler.

I guess the modern equivalent of that would be https://repology.org/ https://repology.org/ Although the focus is on the version aspect, so descriptions are a bit hidden and I'm not sure they're searchable.

    I though that http://freshcode.club/ http://freshcode.club/ was the de-facto successor to Freshmeat? (I stopped using OpenHub/Ohloh to announce releases when they started requiring either an e-mail address or a Github login.)
