Meatoo Grew

meatoo is now fully indexed against the entire freshmeat database, not just the last few days. In addition to searching by herd and maintainer, I added package name and Gentoo category search options.
There are approximately 3000 packages in portage mapped against freshmeat projects by name. This is all done automatically, so there will be many false positives, i.e.:

app-misc/nut => http://freshmeat.net/projects/nut/

instead of:

app-misc/nut => http://freshmeat.net/projects/networkupstools/

For names that match but are the wrong package, I've implemented a voting system so people who register can re-map portage names to freshmeat project names. Now all I need to do is get someone at gentooexperimental to setup an email server so you can actually signup...

PSOD?

Ok, geNToo is really cool, but did we really need a PSOD?
