Indeed, and that's definitely a tricky part.
I mean, it would be great to also be able to store dependencies but as
we won't be able to resolve them anyway, it would be useless.
Resolving the dependencies would mean writing 80% of a package
manager... just to display them in the browser no thanks ;) (and if it's
not implemented exactly with the same algorithm as YaST2, it will differ
from what will happen on the client anyway).

Huh, since when do RPM packages have screenshots and tags ? ^^

Could you elaborate a little ? Sounds like an interesting idea.. :)
