Reading Linux Repositories from Third Party
<p>I am trying to create an app that would be able to generate kickstart scripts (along other things) and for one of the things to add was a list of packages you can install (obviously wont display them all, but will have a function to allow you to know if the package is available).
The problem I am finding is finding any documentation on how yum/apt read their repositories. 
Does anyone know on where to find documentation on this sort of thing or if there is an open sourced app that does a simular thing (reading the repository that is)</p>
