<h1 align="center">rpm2html : a generator of
<a href="http://www.w3.org/">Web</a> pages for
<a href="http://www.rpm.org/">RPM</a> packages</h1>

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

<p><b>rpm2html</b> automatically generate Web pages describing a set of <a
href="http://www.rpm.org/">RPM</a> packages. Preliminary results obtained by
running it on a local mirror of Redhat distribution and the RedHat contrib
directores are available. SuSE-5.1 RPM packages have been added as well a
XFree86 updates from SuSE, especially useful for the new chipsets. I added
also OpenLinux Lite 1.1.1 to the list of dristribution, and added warning when
a package doesn't provide a correct set of resources.</p>
<p>
The goals of rpm2html are also to identify the dependencies between various
packages and to find the package(s) providing the resources needed to install
a given package. Every package is analyzed to retrieve its dependencies and
the resources it offers. These relationships are expressed using hyperlinks in
the generated pages. Finding the package providing the resource you need is
just a matter of a few clicks!</p>
<p>
The ultimate commodity is ensured by indexing this set of pages, allowing the
user to find instantaneously the package(s) providing any given functionality
(as long as the package maintainer has properly commented the RPM).</p>
<p>
Rpm2html now support <a href="http://www.w3.org/Metadata/">RDF </a>encoding
and decoding of RPM metadata. The long term goal is to provide metadata
information for RPM packages on a large scale and use them to automate
searching, installing and upgrade linux packages.</p>
<p>
Rpm2html is free software, released under the 
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software.html"
>W3C License</a>.</p>

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