New packages database

Today we launch our new packages database website at http://packages.trisquel.info/

Using the same software as the matching sites at Debian and Ubuntu, it shows the details about all the packages we distribute, including comprehensive descriptions and relationships, categories, list of files, changelogs, and even screenshots. We hope it will not only help navigate our catalogue, but allow to further filter our servers of non-free files and packages.

The steps needed to build the site provided also the databases required for apt-file to work in Trisquel, as well as allowing the upgrader application to show the changes for every update.

And remember, we can provide you with this new site because Trisquel has complete and fully independent repositories, serving you over 300GB of free software packages.
