Feature Overview

Enable aqua-registry to use as Repology's Repository.

Why is the feature needed?

We can add status badges to the document of tools supported by aqua-registry.

e.g.

https://dt.plumbing/user-guide/install.html

So, Repology is a way for project owners to display ways you can install software
I was thinking aqua as a repository
I am a little selfish here, since I could just have aqua show up on a repology badge (like in install instructions https://dt.plumbing/user-guide/install.html) but not have to write out the instructions for installing with aqua
but for another reason: A lot of projects use repology badges, so it's also a way to spread the word of aqua

I'm not familiar with Repology, but I read the document about it.

aqua-registry is a little different from other Repology's Repositories such as AUR and nixpkgs.
aqua-registry doesn't have the metadata such as maintainer, license, and the list of available versions.
aqua-registry has testdata pkg.yaml, but they aren't the complete list of available versions.

In my understanding, Repology's Repository needs to implement the API.

https://repology.org/api

And probably we need to registry aqua-registry as Repology's Repository.

I was taught https://github.com/repology/repology-updater/tree/master/repos.d , but I'm not sure the specification of this well.

I'm not familiar with Repology, so your contribution is welcome!

I'm considering this as a contribution, but I also have no idea how it works yet
