PDBQ is a library for collecting status information about Ubuntu source packages for use via Python tools or JSON imports.

PDBQ is a backend service that collects information about software packages into a database for querying. It's intended for tracking versions of packages in different distros, pockets, etc. and the various problems preventing a package from transitioning from one place to another. It intends to be not just a read-only collection of data but to also allow comments and notes to be associated with these transition issues, and to facilitate planning and coordination of package merging work.
