Make yourself a labelled bookmark, I have a few, some called 'specs' and
'contrib-specs', which look like this:
http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/%s/

So, I just type: "specs postfix" to get to
http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/postfix/

Same as above, but with rpmmon:
http://ben.reser.org/mandrake/rpmmon/rpmmon.cgi?package=%s
so "rpmmon postfix" gives:
http://ben.reser.org/mandrake/rpmmon/rpmmon.cgi?package=postfix

I don't know if it would be that valuable. Most valuable feature is to
know if it is in main or contrib.

I would prefer urpmq to be able to give me this info, specifically url,
packager, description. urpmq is much faster than any website (IMHO).

And it would be nice if I didn't need to be root to 'urpmq --sources'.

I think time could be better spent on bugzilla .... or putting these
labelled bookmarks into the default bookmars, along with one for
bugzilla ("bugzilla bugid"?).
