To avoid misunderstandings, I want to point out that repowatch is NOT
meant to be a replacement for repoview. In fact it is even prepared to
link directly into a repoview's package description. Unfortunately there
are none yet for FC7. :)

My primary goal for repowatch was to watch several repositories
simultaneously, and give reports about packages that have been recently
added or removed from a repository. A nice side effect is the
possibility to online search for packages.

The drawback of repowatch is that it requires a web server and a
database, while the static pages of repoview can be used anywhere, even
on a DVD.
