  <title>rpm2html : a generator of Web pages for RPM packages</title>

<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><b>rpm2html</b> automatically generates 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 the Redhat distribution and the RedHat contrib
directores are available. SuSE-5.1 RPM packages have been added as well as
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>Rpm2html supports <a href="http://www.w3.org/Metadata/">RDF </a>encoding
and decoding of RPM metadata. The rationale 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><strong>rpmfind</strong> is a tool reusing the <a
href="http://rpmfind.net/linux/RDF/">RDF metadata database</a> to automate
searching, resolving dependancies and to autoupgrade RPM based setups, check
<a href="rpmfind.html">rpmfind specific page</a></p>

<p><strong>rpmfind.net</strong> and <strong>fr.rpmfind.net</strong> are two <a
href="http://rpmfind.net/">servers</a> I maintain providing the base services
needed for rpmfind tool. There are <a href="mirrors.html">mirrors</a> and
independant servers worldwide</p>

<p>Rpm2html and rpmfind are free software released under the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software.html">W3C IPR</a>
which is compatible with the Gnu Public Licence.</p>
