1.10 veillard 20: <h2>Goal</h2>
1.1 veillard 21: <p>
22: <strong>rpm2html</strong> generate automatically Web pages describing a set of
1.3 veillard 23: <a href="http://www.rpm.org/">RPM</a> packages. Preliminary results obtained
1.18 veillard 24: by running it on a local mirror of Redhat distribution and the RedHat contrib
25: directores are available. SuSE-5.1 RPM packages have been added as well a
1.20 ! veillard 26: XFree86 updates from SuSE, especially useful for the new chipsets. I added
! 27: also OpenLinux Lite 1.1.1 to the list of dristribution, and added warning when
! 28: a package doesn't provide a correct set of resources.</p>
1.1 veillard 29: <p>
30: The goal of rpm2html is also to identify the dependancies between various
1.17 veillard 31: packages, and being able to find the packages providing the resources needed
1.4 veillard 32: to install another package. Every package is analyzed to retrieve its
1.17 veillard 33: dependancies and the resources it offers. These relationship are expressed
1.4 veillard 34: using hyperlinks in the the generated pages. Finding the package providing the
1.17 veillard 35: resource you need is just a matter of a few clicks!</p>
