Realtime PHP apt file (Packages.gz) parser
Hi,
Just in case someone here needs a small PHP script for generating HTML
summaries from apt repository files ('apt-ftparchive' output, ie. Packages.gz
and Source.gz) in realtime:
http://iki.fi/elonencode/parse-apt-files.inc
For example output see:
http://iki.fi/elonen/code/unofficial-debs/
Features:
+ small: one file, 140 lines
+ parses files in realtime (easy to use but only
suitable for relatively small repositories)
+ produces XHTML 1.0 Strict by default
+ easily extendable: parses all fields into associative arrays
+ convert HTTP URLs in description into links
+ shows files sizes in human-friendly format
+ released in Public Domain
I wouldn't be surprised if others had made similar scripts already but didn't
find any and thus wrote one anyway.
