+1: I am willing to follow, do regular testing and prepare small patches where I could for the yum/dnf/zypper/rpm integration when this effort begins.
It seems to me that the first step should be online queryable registry containing the package provides/names/version/git hashes in the main package collections (Debian-Ubuntu-etc/Fedora-CentOS-etc/SuSE/Arch/Win?).
BTW, The same problem stands for npm and pip, so if the Lua community manage to solve the problem, the solution could be replicated in these ecosystems too.
