Summary: Pdbv output a HTML view of a RPM or dpkg database
Description:
Pdbv output a HTML view of a RPM or dpkg database. Its modular design allows easy addition of others package management database and export format (as xml). Why using it: - it does not require lucid/gtk+/qt or other big libs. - it does not require a web server - but it can be used with a web server, as any other html files. - it does not require a X server running, you can use a text mode browser that support frames as links. - it does not require special privileges to access to the output. But access can be restricted by using chmod/chown (filesystem) or .htaccess (apache). - since output is generated by a cronjob, access to the output is as fast as your computer is able to read/serve text files. Why not using it: - it's purpose is not to manage packages installed. - since output is generated by a cronjob, informations are dated, and can be outdated if the database change very frequently. Note that with the 2.x.x series, the cronjob should be hourly. You can see demos at http://dl.gna.org/pdbv/demo_html/
