<h1 align=center>How to use the Web rpm2html database</h1>
<p>
Welcome to the rpm2html archive.</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>
However, navigating a large rpm2html database can be non trivial, here are
some information with the hope that it will help you to to find the RPM
packages you need to maintain your system:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="#header">The navigator header</a>
<li>
<a href="#main">The main page</a>
<li>
<a href="#colormap">The colormap header</a>
<li>
<a href="#group">The index by group pages</a>
<li>
<a href="#vendor">The indexes by Maintainer and Distribution pages</a>
<li>
<a href="#date">The index by Creation Date page</a>
<li>
<a href="#name">The index by Name page</a>
<li>
<a href="#package">Package pages</a>
<li>
<a href="#resource">Resource pages</a>
</ul>
<h2><a name="header">The navigator header</a></h2>
<p>
All the pages generated by rpm2html includes a standard template like this
one:</p>
<hr>
<table border="5" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="index.html">Index</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="Groups.html">RPM sorted by Group</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="Distribs.html">RPM sorted by Distribution</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="Vendors.html">RPM sorted by Vendor</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="ByDate.html">RPM sorted by creation date</a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="ByName.html">RPM sorted by Name</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<hr>
<p>
This can be used to move faster from one place in the Web site one of the main
pages. Further development will allow site maintainers to link-in extra pages
like the help system or a search engine. Here are the standard links:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Index brings you back to the rpm2html database main page.
<li>
RPM sorted by Group is a shortcut to the Group page, listing all the
categories for which RPMs are available.
<li>
RPM sorted by Distribution is a shortcut to the Distribution page, listing all
the distributions for which RPMs are available.
<li>
RPM sorted by Vendor is a shortcut to the Vendor page, listing all the vendor
or packagers who provided the RPM for the database.
<li>
RPM sorted by Group is a shortcut to the Group page, listing all the
categories for which RPMs are available.
<li>
RPM sorted by Nane is a shortcut to the Name page, allowing to search a
package using its name.
<li>
RPM sorted by creation date, or RPM sorted by installation date list all the
packages available (or installed) on the site, showing the most recent first,
this is useful if you're tracking a recently released package
</ul>
<h2><a name="main">The main page</a></h2>
<p>
This page is the front-end of this rpm2html database, it intent is to show
what packages are available.</p>
<p>
Following a one line summary of the amount of packages indexed, it gives a set
of generic links to the main indexes:</p>
<hr>
<ul>
<li>
The list of <a href="Groups.html">RPM indexed by category</a>
<li>
The list of <a href="ByDate.html">RPM indexed by date of creation</a>
<li>
The list of <a href="ByName.html">RPM indexed by name</a>
<li>
The list of <a href="Vendors.html">RPM indexed by maintainer</a>
<li>
The list of <a href="Distribs.html">RPM indexed by distribution</a>
</ul>
<hr>
<p>
Then all the directories indexed in the base are listed to advertize the
available set of packages, their name, the origin server, the local one and a
set of mirrors. <strong>Important</strong>, it also show the associed color
code for packages coming from this distribution, e.g.:</p>
<hr>
<table bgcolor="#e0ffe0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#e0ffe0" colspan="2">
<a
href="ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-5.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS">RedHat-5.0
for i386</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#e0ffe0">
Repository for sources:
</td>
<td bgcolor="#e0ffe0">
<a
href="ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-5.0/SRPMS">ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-5.0/SRPMS</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#e0ffe0">
Local mirror:
</td>
<td bgcolor="#e0ffe0">
<a
href="ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/redhat-5.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS">ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/redhat-5.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#e0ffe0" colspan="2">
Mirrors
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#e0ffe0" colspan="2">

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<hr>
<p>
The color scheme may be extremely useful is a package is available from
various distribution and for different architectures.</p>
<h2><a name="colormap">The colormap header</a></h2>
<p>
Most of the pages listing a set of RPMs also provide a colormap in the header.
This is a reminder of the color codes used to help localize the packages
pertaining to a given distribution/architecture, for example:</p>
<hr>
<table align=center>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#e0ffe0">
RedHat-5.0 for i386
</td>
<td bgcolor="#ffe0ff">
RedHat-5.0 for alpha

<td bgcolor="#ffc0ff">

All the packages with identical software name, revision number and packaging
number are represented by one row in the table. It lists the package name, the
summary and a set of links pointing to the packages pages. Note that there may
be more than one line per row (i.e. if a package is available in more than one
distribution), in that case, use the color indexing to find the appropritate
link. The link is labelled with the OperatingSystem/Architecture to avoid
using a package for a different architecture.</p>
<h2><a name="vendor">The indexes by Maintainer and Distribution pages</a></h2>
<p>
There are extremely similar to the Group file, they just use the Maintainer
and Distribution fields to index the database instead of the Group field. The
page and links schemes are quite similar otherwise.</p>
<h2><a name="date">The index by Creation Date page</a></h2>

This page lists all the packages found in the database sorted by creation (or

Each line list exactly one package, the color scheme is used to differentiate
packages from various distribution platforms. The first field gives the name,
this is also a link to the package page, then there is the summary and the
date of creation (or installation). Separators title are used to mark
arbitrary times limits at 3 days, one week, two weeks, one month and two
months, anything older is not listed. Also to avoid creating too big pages the
page may be splitted into multiples pages, using the "..." link at the bottom

The pages described previously are only indexes whose purpose is to locate
easily the packages you are actually interested in. Let's look at a package
page. It starts with the usual navigation header, then two titles are
provided:</p>

<p>
The first one is a link to the local copy of the package. To load it click on
the link while pressing shift (this may depend on your browser though). The
second link explains the origin of the package and is usually a link to the
repository where the files where fetched (the origin server). Use this link if
you don't trust the local repository.</p>

<p>
The two next items in the page are a sets of links to ressources. A ressource
is usually a library or a program name, most packages requires others
resources for proper installation, for example most programs will requires a C
library, this will be listed in the requires list. On the other hand when
installing a package, you provides new resources on your system allowing other
packages to make use of it (this is especially true with libraries or standard
unix programs). Hence each RPM package has a set of requirements for resources
and a set of resources it provides:</p>

<p>
Each item in both lists is a link to the corresponding package page (see
below). Following the links from the Requires section allow to locate the
package providing some resources not available on your system, and which may
cause the installation of the RPM to abort.</p>
<hr>

<p>
Some package are incorectly built and don't export a valid lists of required
and exported resources. This banner is here to avoid using incorrect packages
but sometimes it may be wrong, some packages just don't requires any other
resources. Anyway it's alway better to follow the link to check for more
suitable packages, if they exists.</p>
