For things like pkgs, since the front page is unusable, you have to know the url to a package anyhow, so I doubt too many people are even hitting it there. > 2. cgit is a different pkg - maintained by other folks > 3. gitweb-caching appears to be abandoned (gitweb is maintained but it > doesn't do caching) - kernel.org is using gitweb-caching 4.

Some more (which may not be ideal but I thought I would mention): - The git-web in the git package. It's not got any caching tho, so it may not be acceptable performance wise. - For fedorahosted we could just move people to using the trac git interface. It's sadly a lot slower and uglier, IMHO. kevin
