1.18 veillard 12:
1.10 veillard 13: <h2>Goal</h2>
1.1 veillard 14: <p>
1.23 veillard 15: <strong>rpm2html</strong> automatically generate Web pages describing a set of
1.3 veillard 16: <a href="http://www.rpm.org/">RPM</a> packages. Preliminary results obtained
1.18 veillard 17: by running it on a local mirror of Redhat distribution and the RedHat contrib
18: directores are available. SuSE-5.1 RPM packages have been added as well a
1.20 veillard 19: XFree86 updates from SuSE, especially useful for the new chipsets. I added
20: also OpenLinux Lite 1.1.1 to the list of dristribution, and added warning when
21: a package doesn't provide a correct set of resources.</p>
1.1 veillard 22: <p>
1.23 veillard 23: The goals of rpm2html are also to identify the dependencies between various
24: packages and to find the package(s) providing the resources needed to install
25: a given package. Every package is analyzed to retrieve its dependencies and
26: the resources it offers. These relationships are expressed using hyperlinks in
27: the generated pages. Finding the package providing the resource you need is
28: just a matter of a few clicks!</p>
29: <p>
30: The ultimate commodity is ensured by indexing this set of pages, allowing the
31: user to find instantaneously the package(s) providing any given functionality
32: (as long as the package maintainer has properly commented the RPM).</p>

1.28 ! veillard 37: I got a new drive for the archive, I added two new distributions: SuSE-5.2
! 38: and Freshmeat (a collection of RPM maintained on the popular
! 39: <a href="http://freshmeat.net/">FreshMeat web site</a>).

1.10 veillard 130: <h2>History</h2>
1.27 veillard 131: <p>
132: Version 0.85 is a maintenance release. Bug fix + portability are the
133: targets. There is experimental code for dumping the installation tree.</p>
1.24 veillard 134: <p>
1.26 veillard 135: Version 0.80 add site map, per-directory browsing and faster execution on
136: large sites. A subdir directive has been added for config files to select the
137: HTML output directory per distribution (it's better to use it instead of dir
138: with a full path).</p>
139: <p>
1.24 veillard 140: Version 0.70 integrated Changelog (Gary Thomas), ability to add new headers,
141: removal of nasty memory bugs, spell checking improvements, etc.</p>
1.16 veillard 142: <p>
143: Version 0.60 limits the size of HTML files by splitting big one in multiple
144: chunks.</p>
1.14 veillard 145: <p>
1.15 veillard 146: Version 0.50 add recursion in RPM storage, and Spanish language support.</p>
1.10 veillard 147: <p>
1.18 veillard 148: Version 0.40 add multi architecture support, help rendering of big tables, and

1.7 veillard 152: <p>

154: multiple architectures. <strong>NOTE: some of the configuration name semantic
155: have changed, you need to reedit them</strong> (especially
156: <strong>url</strong> and <strong>mirror</strong> fields). <strong>Read the
157: PRINCIPLES file</strong> in the distribution to learn more about rpm2html
158: algorithms and how to configure your config file(s).</p>
159: <p>
160: Version 0.20 Added features are colorization, localization and possibility to

1.18 veillard 162:
1.21 veillard 163: <h2>Feedback and mailing-list</h2>
1.25 veillard 164: <p>
1.26 veillard 165: I am looking for volunteers to do localization of the output files. The
166: process is simple, one just have to translate the message file. Use "rpm
167: -dumplang msg.local" and translate the text in msg.local. I already have
168: French, Spanish and German localized messages.</p>
1.7 veillard 169: <p>
1.18 veillard 170: I am looking for other sites to provide the same service, I hope others will
