And what I'd really like to see in repoview/repowatch/pkgs-db/whatever
is a kind of static-url like
fedoraproject.org/pacakges/foo
which gives some info *for users* about the package in Fedora and links
to the latest packages (or its repowatch/repoview/whatever pages that
have more details about the packages) for currently supported distributions.
Then we could points users to that page and can tell the maintainers of
foo "for Fedora packages send your users to
fedoraproject.org/packages/foo for further informations"
Exactly. Not to mention every other major distro has something like that.
I felt a bit ashamed when I had to tell upstream that we don't have it
when asked for a package URL.

R.
