That brought me to the question: what are our plans for a webinterface for packages? We had repoview in the past for Core and Extras, but that was dropped with the merge (likely due to "not much time, not critical/not important enough). Will we get it back? Or will Fedora just ignore the issue and leave that service to external groups? Or will the package database help somewhat in this regard?
I'm finishing up a rewrite of repoview that should dramatically improve the speed aspect. One of the advantages of repoview is that it generates static pages and thus doesn't require any "engine" to view the repository. Its major downside in current version is that it has to regenerate all the pages to see if they have changed, hence times 5000 packages, it took a Very Long Time for even minor changes to the repositories. New version does state-tracking, so small repository changes take only a couple of seconds to run, which should improve things dramatically. It's also rsync-friendly and only modifies the pages that have actually changed. I have it mostly finished, and only have to finish up a few things before releasing 0.6.
