Hello Birger,

The RDF file you name is useful for many things. Install the openpkg-tool
package into your OpenPKG instance, and then type

  $ openpkg build -sa

to see what you have installed and what needs upgrading. This is just an
example of how an application can use the 00INDEX.rdf file (which is
generated by the openpkg-tool as well).

If you want to read the file manually, then either look at it with a text
editor, or a generic XML editor, or with a tool like Mozilla DOM inspector

  http://www.mozilla.org/projects/inspector/

which is also conveniently found in your Mozilla browser (look under
Tools/Web Development).
