1.50 ! daniel 14: <img src="new.gif" alt="New">Versions 1.1 of rpmfind and rpm2html are
1.49 daniel 15: available.
16: <a href="ftp://rufus.w3.org/pub/rpmfind">Download</a> and give them a try!</p>

1.43 veillard 18: <p><b>rpm2html</b> automatically generate Web pages describing a set of <a
1.31 veillard 19: href="http://www.rpm.org/">RPM</a> packages. Preliminary results obtained by
20: running it on a local mirror of Redhat distribution and the RedHat contrib
21: directores are available. SuSE-5.1 RPM packages have been added as well a
22: XFree86 updates from SuSE, especially useful for the new chipsets. I added
23: also OpenLinux Lite 1.1.1 to the list of dristribution, and added warning when
1.43 veillard 24: a package doesn't provide a correct set of resources.</p>
1.31 veillard 25: <p>
26: The goals of rpm2html are also to identify the dependencies between various
27: packages and to find the package(s) providing the resources needed to install
28: a given package. Every package is analyzed to retrieve its dependencies and
29: the resources it offers. These relationships are expressed using hyperlinks in
30: the generated pages. Finding the package providing the resource you need is
31: just a matter of a few clicks!</p>
32: <p>
33: The ultimate commodity is ensured by indexing this set of pages, allowing the
34: user to find instantaneously the package(s) providing any given functionality
35: (as long as the package maintainer has properly commented the RPM).</p>
36: <p>
37: Rpm2html now support <a href="http://www.w3.org/Metadata/">RDF </a>encoding
38: and decoding of RPM metadata. The long term goal is to provide metadata
39: information for RPM packages on a large scale and use them to automate
1.32 veillard 40: searching, installing and upgrade linux packages.</p>

1.46 veillard 53: Big thanks to <A href="http://www.varesearch.com/">
1.47 daniel 54: <img src="va.gif" alt="logo of ">VAResearch</A> for
1.46 veillard 55: supporting the RPM archives. They provided me with a Wide SCSI card and
56: a Wide SCSI cable to avoid using the on-board Adaptec wich still tend to
57: hang the machine every couple of months. Making all the devices work happily
58: together took quite some time and resulted in a 2 hours downtime, sorry,
59: hopefully the machine will be stable now.</p>
60: <p>
1.48 daniel 61: I was running out of disk space again so I got a new 11 Gig drive
62: (I also bought a Promise IDE card to host the new drive(s)).
63: I will now start providing non-linux RPM packages, starting with
64: Solaris ones coming from <a href="http://www.solaris.rpm.org/"
1.49 daniel 65: >Real-Time.Com</a> repository. I also added a couple of Windows/Cygwin32
66: RPMs and the Turbolinux distributions 3.0 and PPC, see the
67: <a href="/linux/RPM">RPM repository main page</a></p>
