Hi,
I know that this list normally announces new rpm packages but this is slightly
different and I hope complimentary.
There are now a huge number of packages spread around the worlds
ftp archives.
It can be difficult to find a package that meets your needs if you
dont know if it exists or what it is called.
I have written a crawler that searches the major ftp archives and
indexes all the packages that it finds as it goes.
This index has a web front end at
www.whichrpm.com
that enables keyword searches to be performed across the index.
Queries such as tell me all the packages that contain palm and
pilot in the description.
I would very much like people to beta test the site and see
if is useful as I am lacking critical feedback on the idea at
the moment. I know that there are a few bug in the system
that need to be ironed out.
Sorry if this post is off topic.
Thanks
