Folks --

marduk from irc has written an updated and improved online packages
database which we will be deploying to replace our current solution.  When
you have a chance, please take a look at:

http://packages.gentoo.org/

At the moment, this site is in beta.  This means it is not a production
site and may go down for maintenance/upgrades at any time.  Thus, if it
appears unresponsive, it may be down momentarily.  Please try again later.

Comments and questions are welcome.

Very nice. What do the bug icons, checks, and Xs mean?

I think the check-marks are if the ebuild is in stable arch (eg. x86).  The bug
indicates the ebuild is in unstable arch (eg. ~x86), and a faded
cross means its not been listed for that arch.  I guess an active
cross indicates its been masked from that arch.

Where do bug reports go?

- Ampersands must be '&' in links, not a bare &.

Great, I like it...
The search output is good (the version matrix).

strangely, I searched for "kde-base" and I got kdiff3 which is under the 
app-misc catergory.

BTW, is the search regex enabled? if not, can you add a selection box to 
allow regex searching?



And while we're on the subject - a different yet related issue -

It would be nice to have the description of each package under the
online package database.

(http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/index.xml)

currently I'm able to do the same thing with "esearch -F -c ^tree-name", 
but I think it would add to that package.

errr... I think it would add to these pages, even.


Is packages.gentoo.org suppose to replace or add to the current 
online database pages, btw?

Excellent, already a search shortcut thingy in Konq!

Can the search results be returned as XML/RSS (perhaps the addition of
an extra parameter to the query string)?

Looks great. 

Missing feature: (priority: nice to have):

Replace a string in Comments like 'closes #1234' with a 
<a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id={1234}"......

:-)
