Check names of packages

[ghost]

An idea that I got from Emender...

The idea is to automatically find:

• misspelled package names
• descriptions of outdated package

How to go about this:

• crawl download.suse.de & download.opensuse.org projects for package names & which products/projects they appear in, at least weekly
• from there, we could either
  1. offer a web service for corrections:
     • (-) would not work without network
     • (-) introduces some latency
     • (-) unclear how to make it work best outside of SUSE network (surely solvable)
     • (+) should be able to do fuzzy search/typo correction on its own
     • (+) always most up-to-date & no upfront download
  2. offer a file for downloading that could be cached locally:
     • (-) introduces big latency upfront, because it would be a ~500k or so download
     • (-) needs a download schedule (once a week or so) which means we would incur the big latency a lot (because lots of people only use the style checker once a month)
     • (-) we'd need to implement a fuzzy search/typo correction algorithm locally
     • (+) works without networking

Currently "solved" by the separate checkcommands script. Doing this in the style checker is a bit weird.
