Hi, I just put the source code of archlinuxfr.org website online. We use the django code of archlinux.org. To get packages I create a script to get them : pkgdb.rb. It use information from db. You could find it here : http://projet.archlinuxfr.org/browser/trunk
or here : http://projet.archlinuxfr.org/svn/trunk/ But yes could be usefull to have a dump of official db. Maybe in xml. Or better a webservice that access to all packages. If anyone is interrested about it maybe I could start to work on it ? - Benoit -- Arch Linux FR, website for french speaking user of Arch Linux. http://www.archlinuxfr.org On Sun, 2006-10-01 at 13:59 +0200, Pierre Schmitz wrote: > Hi, > > I just thought about, how I could build a package-browser for archlinux.de > like that available at archlinux.org.
