Given our extreme time constraints, I think it is likely that we will have to retire the Packages app. However, there is one feature in it that I personally believe does map to the CPE team's mission statement: the table of which versions of a package are in which versions of Fedora/EPEL. I think we should do *something* to continue to provide that particular feature to packagers. I have a proposal: What if we make a fedpkg subcommand that prints that table? I think it could get all the needed data by querying Koji. I suggest this instead of a webapp or service, because webapps and services increase the burden on the CPE team, and also because creating an entire application just to print a table is a lot of boilerplate. Adding it to fedpkg feels clean to me, because it seems like a sensible place for such a feature to exist, and because it *should* be simple and easy. Simple is good! I may be able to find the time to make this happen before April too. Thoughts?
