While looking at some useful Win32 software on nirsoft.net, i came across something that may or may not already be done:
http://www.nirsoft.net/pad/ If you have a software listing Web site, and you want to add the utilities from NirSoft into your Web site, you can download a collection of PAD files that contains essential information about most utilities available in this Web site. You can also download a text file containing links to all available PAD files on NirSoft Web site. Each PAD file contains all information you need in order to list a program in your Web site: program name, version, release date, program category, descriptions, link to download the program, link to screenshot, and so on... When a new version of program is released, the corresponding pad file is automatically updated with the new version. For more information about pad files, click here The following is free software to setup your own website of http://pad.asp-software.org/webmasters.php With this, an inventory of software could always know what versions are out-of-date. So when there is a new version available, we would know right away. Of course, a crowd sourcing solution like sumo_lite would still be needed as well to handle software that does not use the PAD spec. PAD XML SPEC http://pad.asp-software.org/spec/pad_spec.xml Contains a list of links to PAD files for all the nirsoft applications. http://www.nirsoft.net/pad/pad-links.txt _______________________________________________ Fusioninventory-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/fusioninventory-user
