OVERVIEW
========

RPM.CGI is a simple CGI frontend to the RPM 
program. It allows you to view all RPMs
installed on a system and to view all 
information about the installed RPMs such
as dependencies, install time and it also
includes MD5 check sum information for all
the installed files.


INSTALLATION
============

This isn't difficult really. Copy the rpm.cgi and 
the config.pm to the desired cgi directory that is 
viewable by you webserver. Something like, 
/home/httpd/cgi-bin/rpm_cgi/

Then access the rpm.cgi from a web browser. :)

Easy huh?

I suggest in most cases to limit use of the 
script by something like .htaccess so that 
not everyone in the world can see the RPMs 
that are installed on your system. 
(Especially if they are not all up to date).

To make things quicker and to cut down on my 
bandwidth copy the supplied images to an
images directory on your webserver and
change the $images variable at the top of
the configuratioin file to point to the right
directory.


CONFIGURATION
=============

From this release there is a configuration file
provided in the package. This is config.pm and
should be placed in the same directory as the cgi
script. If you installed from the rpm I made this
will have a symbolic link from 
/etc/rpm_cgi/rpm_cgi.conf

Edit the file for your own personal preference.


BUGS/FEATURE REQUESTS
=====================

If you would like extra features built into this
script then please let me know and I will try to
do it when I update for the next release.
