[gobolinux-users] Web based recipe browser

[Andy Feldman]

I like the age display. It makes it easier to guess whether the recipe
is for the latest version of the program or not. Would it be hard to
have it list packages as well? I like to search a program and see both
recipes and packages that are available for it. Even a simple icon as
to whether a given recipe version has a corresponding package in the
official store (once we get some packages in the official store) would
be useful, so I know if I can issue InstallPackage and get that
version or not. Even if you don't, I'll probably be using it often...
the ability to view the recipe files is pretty neat. Thanks!
