Seth, have you looked at Karel's example? It does have more:

- list of files in rpm
- links to bugzilla bugs (also from changelog!)
- dependencies
- packages in updates
- browse by all packages/groups

What it does not seem to have is a link to download the package.

I'm sure I missed some features in both scripts ;-)

Example usage of Karel's view: browsing by package groups shows that
there is a "User Interface/Desktop" group with only one package -
gnome-keyring-manager. Shouldn't it be like many other packages in "User
Interface/Desktops" group? Click on "bugzilla" link while viewing
gnome-keyring-manager page queries bugzilla where one can clearly see
that this issue is reported as bug #147903: "Group tag inconsistency".
Very nice feature!

Regards,
Dariusz
