Badges are pretty popular in GitHub though there don't seem to be many that provide information on distros that have packages for a project. This would be very useful because, at least for me, the first thing I do when I want to try a new project is see if a package is available for the distro I'm working with, usually Fedora or CentOS.
I searched around, but couldn't find anything that existed already (please let me know if I missed it), so I made static badges for one of my projects, python-enlighten[1], but this requires remembering to update them when a new version of Fedora comes out.
I tried to create a dynamic one, but it isn't exactly what I want. It's based on if a branch exists and starts with 'f' or 'e', not if there is a stable package for that branch. Also, the branch names are not consistent between EPEL 6 and EPEL 7, so it would be better to just get the number. Might as well just use the number for Fedora too for consistency.

Dynamic EPEL:
I'm also not sure the best place to point them to. shields.io does let you set a target for both the left and the right sides, but I just set the target within readme.rst and pointed both badges to the Bodhi updates page for the package.
Anyone have a better way to generate dynamic badges? Should badge generation be a part of the Fedora infrastructure?
For an alternative approach, would it be better to show the latest stable version in the latest Fedora. Something like this, but dynamic:
