As suggested in the docs for setting up your own package repo, I have Repoview running to generate index pages. It works reasonably well, but it appears to be long-since abandoned–the last release (0.6.6) is nearly nine years old, and the only RPM changes since then have been a couple of rebuilds to account for newer Fedora releases, most recently in early 2013. Google’s failing me here–does anyone know of something along those lines that’s actually maintained?

I can only think of RPM Fusion, but that is not local…
Why a web view of the repo? Yum clients already provide many information. Are they missing something you need?
Off the top of my head:
- Since repos are identified by HTTP(s) URLs, having some kind of landing page at that URL is appropriate. An index of the repo seems like the obvious thing to put there.
- Repoview, at least, gives links to download the RPMs, which would help in putting them onto an offline system if needed.
Both Apache and Nginx provide automatic directory indexes:

I understand Repoview produces a nicer output though…
