In the last round of roll outs the fedora packagedb  added tags and
ratings to the site. A great bit of work by mbacovsk, maploin and toshio
made this happen. I added support for yum to use the db  that the pkgdb
can spit out, searching on the tags for pkgs, provided that the info is
in the repodata. It’s not quite percolated to the top of anyone’s list
to get it into the repodata in bodhi. However with the advent of
repos.fp.o I now have a good place to store this and make it accessible
to users.

So make sure you have yum updated on your system – at least yum 3.2.26.

1. Grab this file:
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/skvidal/PkgTags/fedora-PkgTags.repo
and stuff it in /etc/yum.repos.d/ on your system

2. run: yum search sometag someothertag someothertag

That’s it!

I’ll update the repo ever-so-often until we get the round-tuits
compiled for it to be added into the updates repodata automagically.
