There was a question sometime back as to getting a description for rpms
when installing from cooker ftp.
I got tied up and then forgot about it, finally remembered today.

Add your cooker source URL as normal and either enter/edit the path as
../base/hdlist.cz

For contrib use the same cooker source URL and the path
../base/hdlist2.cz

Using ftp.ciril as an example
For cooker
URL: ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS
Path: ../base/hdlist

For contrib
URL ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS
Path: ../base/hdlist2.cz

Using hdlist is much slower generating the list than synthesis but even I find it, on 
occasion, useful with contrib.
