Recommendations computed based on Thoth community

The recommendation engine uses aggregated information about environments and software stacks being used by the community.

Issue description

As users use Thoth’s resolver to create software stacks for their runtime environment, Thoth aggregates data about the runtime environment and software stacks. A certain library or library version being popular for a runtime environment is assumed to indicate stability or reliability. This expectation is then passed on to other users.

Affected packages

See additional information in the resolver’s justifications. Some recommendations are specific to packages, some might be specific to the runtime environment used.
