1.10 veillard 18: <h2>Goal</h2>
1.1 veillard 19: <p>
20: <strong>rpm2html</strong> generate automatically Web pages describing a set of
1.3 veillard 21: <a href="http://www.rpm.org/">RPM</a> packages. Preliminary results obtained
1.12 ! veillard 22: by running it on a local mirror of Redhat distribution and the RedHat
! 23: contrib directores are available. I will probably add SuSe-5.1 soon !</p>
1.1 veillard 24: <p>
25: The goal of rpm2html is also to identify the dependancies between various
1.4 veillard 26: packages, and being able to find the packages providing the ressources needed
27: to install another package. Every package is analyzed to retrieve its
1.3 veillard 28: dependancies and the ressources it offers. These relationship are expressed
1.4 veillard 29: using hyperlinks in the the generated pages. Finding the package providing the
30: ressource you need is just a matter of a few clicks!</p>
1.10 veillard 31: <h2>Try it !</h2>
32: <p>
33: Here is the <a href="/linux/RPM">result of this indexing</a> for approximately
1.12 ! veillard 34: 3500 RPMs.</p>
1.10 veillard 35: <p>
36: <img src="french.gif" alt="image: french.gif "> Here is the same <a
37: href="/linux/RPM-FR">result of this indexing</a> using French
1.11 veillard 38: localization.
39: Check also the fully translated French version of Redhat-5.0 done by
40: <a href="http://www.linux-kheops.com/pub/rh50/RPMs/">Kheops</a>.</p>
1.10 veillard 41: <h2>Sources</h2>
1.1 veillard 42: <p>
1.7 veillard 43: <img src="new.gif" alt="image: new.gif ">The sources of <a
1.11 veillard 44: href="ftp://rufus.w3.org/pub/rpm2html/rpm2html-0.40.tar.gz">rpm2html-0.40</a>
1.10 veillard 45: are available. This software is released under the GPL, use free software!</p>
46: <h2>History</h2>
47: <p>
1.11 veillard 48: Version 0.40 add multi architecture support, help rendering of big tables,
49: and correct bugs, of course!</p>
50: <p>
1.10 veillard 51: Version 0.30 add navigation links on top of pages and correct a few bugs.</p>
1.7 veillard 52: <p>
1.8 veillard 53: Version 0.25 clean up the mess with config files and add proper support for
54: multiple architectures. <strong>NOTE: some of the configuration name semantic
55: have changed, you need to reedit them</strong> (especially
56: <strong>url</strong> and <strong>mirror</strong> fields). <strong>Read the
57: PRINCIPLES file</strong> in the distribution to learn more about rpm2html
58: algorithms and how to configure your config file(s).</p>
59: <p>
60: Version 0.20 Added features are colorization, localization and possibility to
61: dump the actual installed base of RPM on the local machine.</p>
1.5 veillard 62: <p>
1.1 veillard 63: The ultimate commodity is ensured by indexing this set of pages, allowing to
1.4 veillard 64: find instantaneously packages providing the some functionnalities (as long as
65: the package maintainer has properly commented the RPM).</p>
1.10 veillard 66: <h2>Feedback</h2>
1.7 veillard 67: <p>
1.8 veillard 68: I am looking for other sites to provide the same service, <a
69: href="http://www.redhat.com/linux-info/pkglist/rhl-intel/">RedHat uses it</a>
70: to advertize the packages that will be shipped in the version 5.0, I hope
1.9 veillard 71: others will follow and that this service will be provided worldwide.</p>
1.10 veillard 72: <h2>Links</h2>
1.1 veillard 73: <p>
1.2 veillard 74: Two other good directories for Linux applications are:</p>
75: <ul>
76: <li>
77: <a href="http://sal.kachinatech.com/">SAL</a> : focusing on Scientific
78: Applications for Linux
79: <li>
80: The <a href="http://www.xnet.com/~blatura/linapps.shtml">Linux Applications
81: and Utilities Page</a> has been around for a long time.
82: </ul>
