Description

Folks,
By default (thanks Apache...), package listings in repos are really not that useful via a web browser because the default is to truncate filenames after the first 20 bytes.

I easily fixed this globally on my Pulp server by augmenting the following line of /etc/httpd/conf.d/autoindex.conf:
- IndexOptions FancyIndexing HTMLTable VersionSort
+ IndexOptions FancyIndexing HTMLTable VersionSort NameWidth=*

...but this can be fixed in the Pulp installation by adding that option to the right places (up to you guys specifically which) in the pulp_rpm.conf or other pulp-provided files. Attached is a visual example of how much nicer listings are without truncation.
