True, somehow I was mistaken that it would point to the Makefile instead
of the directory. Which is fine with me. Sorry for the confusion.

Regarding the naming, the URL points to a certain point-in-time-copy of
the build directory that as a whole represents or "describes" how the
currently published package version was built. So if it stays as is
(i.e. with revision information) "package build description" IMHO fits
the bill, but I'll also be happy with Jonathan's suggestion of "package
build repository" (although this somehow implies a moving target).

Anyway, it's a matter of two different words. I'd rather care about the
actual implementation. Phil, any chance you got round to add the
OPENCSW_REPOSITORY field to the database yet? Please yell once that's
done so that someone (if need be, me) can go ahead and adjust the
wordpress stuff.
