FEATURE REQUEST: Filter - Maintained / Unmaintained

Feature Request

A filter for maintained / unmaintained elements

[pinpox]

I stumbled across this query by @garbas and @infinisil to search for unmaintained packages NixOS/rfcs#81 (comment)

However it seems to not work on the current search API. Does anyone know how to update it to the current version? I'm trying to compile a list of unmaintained packages.

I tried searching using:

{
   "from":0,
   "size":50,
   "sort":[
      {
         "_score":"desc",
         "package_attr_name":"desc",
         "package_pversion":"desc"
      }
   ],
   "query":{
      "bool":{
         "filter":[
            {
               "term":{
                  "type":{
                     "value":"package",
                     "_name":"filter_packages"
                  }
               }
            }
         ],
         "must":[
            {
               "term":{
                  "package_maintainers_set":{
                     "value":"No maintainers"
                  }
               }
            }
         ]
      }
   }
}

And:

 curl 'https://search.nixos.org/backend/latest-42-nixos-24.05/_search' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YVdWU0FMWHBadjpYOGdQSG56TDUyd0ZFZWt1eHNmUTljU2g=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Pragma: no-cache' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  --data @query.json | jq

But that returns 0 hits. Maybe someone with more knowledge of the search syntax can spot the error in the query?

Oh damn, I don't even remember writing this anymore, sorry I can't help much 😅

@pinpox It appears that the package_maintainers_set value must be an empty list now ([])

This query worked for me : { "from": 0, "size": 100, "query": { "bool": { "must_not": { "exists": { "field": "package_maintainers_set" } } } } }

@loprima-l EDIT: got it working with your query and this command to get only the package names:

 curl 'https://search.nixos.org/backend/latest-42-nixos-24.05/_search' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YVdWU0FMWHBadjpYOGdQSG56TDUyd0ZFZWt1eHNmUTljU2g=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Pragma: no-cache' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  --data @query.json | jq '.hits.hits[]._source.package_pname'
