Hi,
about a month ago I wrote that I would like to improve the reporting on
http://www.szabgab.com/distributions/ by including recent releases of Fedora.
(and Red Hat as well)
I asked on this list how can I get the list of all the packages included in
Fedora N? Ralf has pointed me to some page:

\
-o $owners/owners.list.raw
cat $owners/owners.list.raw | grep '^Fedora|' > $owners/owners.fedora.list

And grep'ed the generated owners.fedora.list:
grep perl- owners.fedora.list
Now I am here in Oslo, the QA Hackathon where I would like to work on this
is going to start tomorrow evening so I started to look at this.
The above page only gives me a list of perl package names. There is no
version number of
the perl packages and I don't know to witch version of Fedora and Red
Hat do they belong to.
I checked the source code of the code that is supposed to fetch the
data and generate the reports
and as I can see it is now trying to download the files from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/repodata/
There seem to be some xml files describing the modules and as I can
see I have already
written a partial parser for them....
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Parse-Fedora-Packages/
The problem is that they are only up to Fedora 6 and if I am right the
latest is 8.
So where is the data for the newer version?
