Sophie is not only a database of Mandriva RPM packages, but a database of
RPM-based linux distributions' RPMs.
From what I know, sophie is :
- scripts that update a huge RPM database
- the database in itself
- an IRC bot + a web site (sophie.zarb.org)
- a giraffe
Olivier Thauvin started to rewrite sophie so that it can provide package
informations to other websites or
applications. Mageia-app-db will probably get information from sophie's
database via XML-RPC or
any other means.
Technically, even if Olivier hide it, there is a xml-rpc interface :)
( except you can only use it like you use the irc bot so it can be quite
ugly )
A rewrite of sophie is on the way, more focus this time of being
reusable, with real XML-RPC, AJAX and maybe other Web 2.0 technologies.
And I got mad, I'll link it to facebook so Sophie will be able to have
friends ! :)
Even software packages need friends :) :)
