Hi Severin!  I'm glad to see you'll be working on dist-git.  I urge you
to look at fedpkg, and the pyfedpkg library (in fedora-packager).  I've
tried to keep all the logic in the library in a way that will be usable
to other frontends than the CLI, and keep the CLI frontend just an
option parser and interface to the library.  I hope the library would be
of use to eclipse, but since it's in Python it might not be.

I do plan on having git-web enabled, but for now you could get a list of
packages in dist-rawhide from koji and assume that a repo exists for all
of them.  For the newest packages that isn't quite true, things added
since the last migration snapshot, but for the most part it'll be true.

koji list-pkgs --tag dist-rawhide
