I just added a script which was written by Jason L Tibbitts III (it was a bit help, thanks Jason). You can see it here if you wish: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/fedora-security/tools/?root=fedora Jason's original script relied on a local archive of things, this one grabs what it needs remotely. It's not the fastest thing ever, but it should be good enough for now. % ./package-release nmh Found package nmh in owners.list: Distro: Fedora Extras Desc: A mail handling system with a command line interface Owner: bressers@xxxxxxxxxx CC: Releases and versions: 3 1.1 13.fc3 /pub/fedora/linux/extras/3/SRPMS/nmh-1.1-13.fc3.src.rpm 3 1.1 14.fc3 /pub/fedora/linux/extras/3/SRPMS/nmh-1.1-14.fc3.src.rpm 4 1.1 13.fc4 /pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/SRPMS/nmh-1.1-13.fc4.src.rpm 4 1.1 14.fc4 /pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/SRPMS/nmh-1.1-14.fc4.src.rpm 5 1.1 18.fc5 /pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/SRPMS/nmh-1.1-18.fc5.src.rpm dev 1.1 18.fc5 /pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/SRPMS/nmh-1.1-18.fc5.src.rpm -- JB
