This seems a little similar to my script to generate my database hopefully
to be used to create an apt-get/yum/up2date/urpmi equivalent.
(I need to fix the LibRequires because currently pkgsrc records too much
information.)

It does not generate HTML, but does collect the meta-data.

Well not really related to your thread, but information could easily be
used to create nice HTML pages.

(My plan is to have the end-user who doesn't use pkgsrc-build-from-source
download the big tar ball of "available" packages; and then use a smart
tool to compare what is installed and if updates can be done cleanly and
then do it.)
