It would be nice to make the “view advisory” button do something useful for apt and yum repositories.
How about “embrace and extend”ing yum, and placing the corresponding advisories into $CHANNEL/advisory/package; then have up2date grab that?
Apt has it's own format for "view advisory" thing (though hardly used anywhere), yum AFAIK doesn't. Probably better to wait 'till we have the common repository metadata so you don't need separate system for each repository type.
