 > Ankur, I get your point and I agree with you. The last report of a
 failed search is going also in that direction.

 expect. In the past there were users reporting why they don't see any list
 of packages they could look at, but only a search form.

 it again. I'm fine with it, but I don't want to jump from one link to the
 other every x months. What would you answer if someone says "hey, I
 expected a list of all Fedora packages there, where can I find it?" I
 guess you will link to pkgdb, won't you?

 to apps.fp.o/packages is the better solution? If yes I'm glad to apply
 your patch.

 I understand what you're saying, yes. Let's not hurry into a decision.
 I'll go talk to the infra folks who are upstream for packages and see what
 they have to say about the issue.

 Thanks,
 Ankur
