Project

PackageDB-cli

The PackageDB-cli was started in May of 2011 to allow user to consult the package collection and to manage their Access Control List (ACL) using a simple interface web free interface.

As of 2014, this project has been ported to pkgdb2. At this occasion, it is has been re-written to propose a python module to query pkgdb2 API as well as the pkgdb2client.cli module containing the command line interface and the pkgdb2client.admin module containing a command line interface for admins to interact with pkgdb2.

rfpkgdb-cli

In December 2018 the package was forked and adopted at rpmfusion as rfpkgdb-cli after being orphaned at Fedora, as it is still used with various RPMFusion infra tools and needed to be converted for Python 3 compatibility.
