So, it could perhaps be something like this:

http://packages.fedoraproject.org/packages/foo/

 The Fedora Project provides "foo" in the following collections:
 
  Fedora Core 6 (foo-47.11-17)
   [ Open bug reports | Change log | Install ]
  Fedora 7 (foo-47.11-17)
   [ ... ]
  EPEL 5 (foo-47.11-17)
   [ ... ]

Where "Install" is <strong> and links to:

 foo can be installed using the command "yum install foo" as root or by
 choosing Add/Remove Software in the Applications menu.

What would be the best way to implement this? A new "view" in pkgdb?
