Provide more info with tpkg --qi option (ie: who uploaded, when uploaded, etc)

[jheiss]

From Jim Yanko:

Could the commmand line output for package information be updated to include some of the info currently ONLY visible via the tpkg Web UI?

Currently, in the WebUI to the repository, I can see more info about a package than I can by using the command line tpkg utility...

The Web UI allows me to see all of the following info about a pacakge in the repo

• name
• Package file
• version
• package version
• the maintainer
• os
• architecture
• description of the pkg
• file info
  • when the tpkg was uploaded
  • WHO uploaded the package (maintainer is defined in the tpkg.yml, but the user who actually uploaded the binary is not necessarily the maintainer)
• what machines the pkg is installed on

Being able to retrieve all the same information via the command line tool would be nice.

Currently, we only get a subset of the above information
(I believe this is because --qX and --qi only display info from the .tpkg's .yml or .xml file content)

$ tpkg --qi eds_config_qa-2.10.0-5.tpkg
name: eds_config_qa
version: 2.10.0
package_version: 5
operatingsystem: any
architecture: any

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/tpkg/ticket/44 is covering some of this ground, adding --qis and --qXs options to view info and metadata for packages on the server. That will just leave Jim's request for info about uploads and installs:

• file info
  • when the tpkg was uploaded
  • WHO uploaded the package
• what machines the pkg is installed on

This ticket should remain to cover that request, which I think would be useful functionality.
