Hi Belén,

That is VERY nice!  I like it.  I'm looking for something a bit simpler
though ... just want to be able to have a text file with the package names
and their versions that we can either include as a file or copy paste in
our release notes since we have to keep up with this (and license info.)
for every release we do.

How did you generate the html for that?  Looks like buildhistory is what I
need to be looking into from the responses so far.

Regards,

Brian
