One of the challenges we have is that the alpha was pretty weak. The report
shows the difference between Fedora 11 a week or so ago, and rawhide. I'll
regenerate those tables as we move closer, and hopefully beta will have a
representative collection of packages. As F11 gets more goodness from the
F12 effort, and as we understand what won't make it into F12, I expect the
tables will get shorter, but I can't really guess how significantly. I had
hoped alpha would be somewhat representative of Fedora 12, but it had only
about 20% of the packages, so I had to use rawhide as a best guess.

I don't know what the pkgdb app looks like, but the code that created the
tables is in C. Basically, I compare the primary.sqlite between two repos.
Unfortunately, there are a number of manual steps. I had an earlier
version that just made hints for beat writers that was more automatic, but I
kept changing my mind abut what I wanted, and I haven't yet learned how to
code precognition.
