Paludis' solution to that issue is the unavailable repository[1]. It is |
| 5 |
a repository that contains enough information about the packages in the |
| 6 |
repositories to display information about them without being able to |
| 7 |
install them. It works surprisingly well and it might be an idea worth |
| 8 |
looking at. |
