As part of the current boosters sprint[1] which aims at integrating the appstream[2] project into our distribution we would like to enhance the web view on our packages at software.o.o/search.
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 :-)
The example search is 'kate'. I'd like to see at least that the highest available version number is mentioned somewhere in the results.
It currently is home:rwooninck:UNSTABLE_KDE4 kate 4.8.41 Found with osc se -V kate
Hiding home projects completly is a very bad thing IMO. Currently users get the false impression that the search results are exhaustive. We could add a link 'Find more...' or tell what the difference is, like e.g. 'Not signed-off by SUSE' and add a list.
I agree we need the possibility to show the home projects, but make it clear that you use them on your own risk.
