\begin{Description}\relax
Coordinates package information from multiple repositories,
maintaining a list of packages, version information and which versions
of which packages are from which repositories.
\end{Description}
\begin{Section}{Objects from the Class}
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("pkgListing", ...)}.
Also, a convenience function, \code{buildPkgListing} has been provided
which will construct the \code{pkgListing} from just a \code{reposList}
object.
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Slots}
\describe{
\item[\code{pkgList}:] A list, detailing packages and versions
\item[\code{repList}:] Object of class \code{"ReposList"}, defines
the known repositories.
}
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Methods}
\describe{
\item[show] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}: Summarizes
information stored.
\item[downloadRepFile] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}:
Downloads a given file from one of the known repositories.
\item[getRepEntry] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}:
Retrieves a specific \code{repEntry} object from the repository
listing. 
\item[getRepURL] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}:
Retrieves the URL for a specific repository in the object
\item[packages] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}: Lists
available packages in the known repositories.
\item[pkgList] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}: Retrieves
the \code{pkgList} slot 
\item[pkgVersionList] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}:
Returns a more formatted list representing the information in the
\code{pkgList} slot, allowing for the names to be replaced with
repository names or URLs as well.
\item[repListing] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}: Retrieves
a \code{replisting} slot from one of the known repositories.
\item[repList] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}: Retrieves
the \code{repList} slot.
\item[summary] \code{signature(object = "pkgListing")}: A briefer
summary of contents then \code{show}
}
