For package view I would want to see the latest versions built and released in each of the important repos (devel, F-8, F-7, RHEL-5, RHEL-4, RHEL-3) with the ability to see all the builds. If a specific package version is selected it should show if it is released and in what version. The icon should be grabbed from the package if it has one, same with the description (perhaps we could allow wiki like editing here for better descriptions, but I feel that is only good if it can somehow update the package too). If you are doing packages it is geared towards developers anyway so there is no need for the Developer Info link. Instead I would have direct links above the comments or even as a sidebar for things like patches, source tarball download, dependency tracker, etc. For things that are useful to be on the main page but hidden such as file lists another section that when clicked on expands. Oh and upstream info is just as important as the package info so the upstream stats such as where to get the original sources and homepage info. In the future even showing that a new version has been released would be great but one step at a time. -- John (J5) Palmieri <johnp@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
