[SOLVED] RPM application details page

Issue

Is there a details page for RPMs like there is for Debian packages I want to automate package installation and show users pertinent information about the package. I've seen there's an old rpm2html but it seems like there should be something more official hosted by the repos.

Solution

Details page? While packages.debian.org cover "Debian" packages, it does not cover Ubuntu packages and other derivates.

RPM world is even bigger. RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, OpenSuse, Mandriva...

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux there exists https://access.redhat.com/management/ (subscribers only).

For Fedora there is https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/

I am not sure about others.

However all managements systems (like Red Hat Satellite) query RPMs directly. See e.g. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch16s03s05.html

As I'm not sure what are you trying to achieve you may as well present data about applications (which may consist of several packages). See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AppData Current Fedora support AppData for nearly all applications.
