Hello,
I'd like to announce GemPKG, a CGI script to search and explore the
OpenBSD package collection over Gemini. It's available at
gemini://gemini.omarpolo.com/cgi/gempkg
It's a simple python script that uses the sqlite database provided by
the sqlports package and features full-text search, per-category
listings and port pages. It tracks OpenBSD-CURRENT, and is
automatically update every couple of days.
The sources are here[0][1], but please keep in mind that it's the first
time I write in python, don't cringe too much. Patches and/or PR are
welcome :)

For the more technical inclined: I have a robots.txt that should exclude
all the pages from most bots, but I would appreciate if somebody could
double check if it's correct. My reasoning is:
- disallow archivers: it's all dynamically generated data, and if
you're interested in preserving it, backup the CVS repository!
- disallow indexers: I don't want to overload GUS & co with 10'000+ pages
- disallow researcher: it doesn't represent the geminispace IMHO
- allow webproxies: these are legit users

Cheers,
