I don't understand why gentoo uses packages.gentoo.org instead of znurt.org? The latter seems far superior in terms of style, functions etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Plus enough setup so we can move it to infra servers.
I sent beandog mail about this. -A
I never heard back from Steve about hosting znurt, or getting the source code. -A

That's not really a blocker in itself, as the data / schema set is well-structured so that it can adapt to changes. Code could be optimized a lot in places too. Basically, a lot of work. I'm curious to see if there's any actual interest in pushing forward, though.

I suppose PostgreSQL is a requirement?

Yah, postgres is a hard req. Uses stored procedures, postgres functions, features, etc.
Is there a way to get access to the source code of current packages.gentoo.org? If I were able to import the same data into the database, it should be pretty simple from there.
Its at http://anongit.gentoo.org/

With my limited use of these sites I continue preferring packages.gentoo.or on znurt.org. It is more immediate... when regularly updated.
We have a replacement packages site lined up for launch that integrates well into the current front-end layout as well as infra circumstances. Thanks for your interest and planning on getting znurt ready for a gentoo.org deployment, however this request is obsolete now.
