Good idea, but I see problems. For example, I have one xine-lib, because 
it works with all SuSE-versions from 7.1 up to 8.1, but I have to 
xine-ui Packages one for SuSE 8.1 and one for SuSE 7.1 to 8.0.
Can you imagin how this can be automaticly solved? There is a libxine 
i686 for SuSE 8.1 and one ppc-package for SuSE 7.3, what5 dependencies 
would be set? The same Problem with i386, i486, i586 and i686 packages.

I don't want to have the precessor-architecture or SuSE-versions in the 
specfile, because I don't want to have more specfiles. In the moment I 
have three xine-ui and three xine-lib specfiles to take care for (the 
official for the cvs-compiles [packman-style] and one for the releases 
[packman-style]).

And simply dependencies you can get with 'rpm -qpR <RPM-File>', 
description with, the rest with 'rpm -qpi <RPM-File>', 'LC_ALL=en rpm 
-qpi <RPM-File>', ...

Ähm, can we do this rpm like:

#Packman-Info
#Packman-Info -l de

But, do we need it? General package info is not a good thing, to have in 
the spec-file, there can be a lot of versions (different SuSE-Versions, 
different cpu-architectures, ...). I would do this in a Web-Interface 
like it is done now.
