https://pkgs.org/ might be a good replacement for that. Does anybody have used or is
using this website ? Any feedback on it ?
Some of the searching is a little awkward. It does let you see stuff
across distributions, but a lot of Fedora-specific information isn't
present.
Unfortunately, improving
pkgs.org is impossible as the author is hard
to get ahold of and the software is not FOSS.
