Hi Paul -

Best idea yet! Go for it.

Hey all,

tl;dr checkout https://pkgs.staging.openwrt.org/

As some may experienced, openwrt.org is slow an one (of many reasons) is that 
it stores and renders tables with all packages.

Based on feedback the experience is neither convincing nor does it perform well 
within a DokuWiki.

After asking our fellow friends from Alpine Linux[1] respectively 
postmarketOS[2] I got an okay to fork and deploy the tool `apkbrowser`, which 
is now `pkgbrowser`[3] since it currently handles OPKG packages.

I’ll refactor and commit the update-script later, essentially it polls our 
buildbots and whenever a build is completed, the database is updated. For that 
reason some packages are still missing. With more time missing packages/archs 
are added.

The tool nor server are tested under load but I fell quite positive it’s more 
fun than our wiki implementation.

If this turns out to fly, I’ll link it in the wiki, move it to pkgs.openwrt.org 
and remove all package functionality from the wiki.

Thanks to Carlo Landmeter et al for implementing such a handy and adoptable 
tool!

Best,
Paul
