With the final target of an web-based appstore we began thinking of how to display a package (app) to the user. The challenge is to make available the matrix of different OS versions, repositories and package versions in a clear way while making it easy for the standard user to get the latest stable version for his OS without getting confused.
We already have a mockup available: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/294274/software.o.o/package-view.png
Feedback appreciated :-)
note: I'm ignoring the home repository issue.
The image implies that only the OSS, update and official devel project are searched.
1) What about the many packages which are not in factory. One example I maintain is volatility which is in the security repo only at present.
2) What about packages which are in multiple devel repos. One official, others not. Lots of those, but dc3dd is one example.
Hi Greg, I agree we should show all devel (as non-home:) projects. I think it's important to show the official packages at first, and additional packages (also from home:) after expanding the section on a "more packages available" link. We don't want to lock those packages from an experienced user.
