Firefox addon for Fedora-pkgdb search

[Milos Jakubicek]

Oops...I think I screwed up a bit again.

I've already prepared a pkgdb open search plugin a few months ago but 
did not publish/announce it:((( (I run of time, wanted to review it 
again, but should have done it nevertheless)

You can try it from here:
http://mjakubicek.fedorapeople.org/pkgdb/

It implements also the suggestions based on a local cache of packages. 
As it currently runs on one of my very old machines with unreliable 
connection, the suggestions might not work properly as they might time out.

I've also copied all my scripts to the above link now:

makePkgCache.py -- queries pkgdb for a package list and updates local 
cache, should be croned every day or so
search.py -- performs a search in such a way that if the searched 
package name is a full match of existing package, it displays the proper 
pkgdb page, otherwise it performs a search among existing packages.
suggest.py -- responds for suggestions
pkgcache.py -- local cache

I'm very very sorry for this as I'm sure that I've partially invalidated 
my/your/both work, which is just bad:(

Could you try to merge my and your work somehow? I'd be glad if you 
would do this and keep an eye of this feature so that it will land on 
pkgdb's pages sooner or later.

Thanks in advance!
Milos
