Use cases:
- Static site generator like Sphinx to build an extension index
- CLI tool that searches it (
salt-pip search
,spm
?) - Web based search
- An offline docset generator
- Integration tests (e.g. can all these extensions be installed together?)
- RSS (updates, new extensions, security issues?)
- Potentially can replace https://extensions.saltproject.io/

- One
.yaml
file per extension, stored in themetadata
folder - Include/exclude lists stored in the

Search notes:
(saltext OR salt-ext OR salt-extension) (path:**/pyproject.toml OR path:**/setup.py OR path:**/setup.cfg)
- Githubcurl https://api.github.com/users/salt-extensions/repos | jq '.[].name'
- Github(filename:pyproject.toml | filename:setup.cfg | filename:setup.py) + (saltext | salt-ext | salt-extension)
- doesn't work on Gitlab
