Greetings all-
Over the years, I've become incredibly spoiled by 'packages.debian.org' which allows me to search for a package, view it's description, download it, see dependencies, see similar packages, etc...
Does such a site or resource exist for CentOS?

You could start with
yum info <packagename>.
See man yum for more (yum whatprovides...).

I wrote a small ruby app that parsed yum metadata and can easily export that via a json or REST interface, but never made it to be a webUI since my web interface skills are a bit lacking.
If there is real interest in something of this nature, I can prolly export something like this using a small sinatra.rb app - would someone be willing to help with the ui stuff ?

Repoview doesn't provide search; also it doesn't show dependencies and so on...
