Thanks for your interest. Presently the HTML is static and re-generated every time a package is published. I think sticking to this approach is the simplest option rather than trying to go with mod_python or PHP. It also puts least load on the server and allows it to concentrate on the main task of serving packages. What is your opinion ? You can get a local copy of the entire HTML tree (not very large) using the following command: rsync -avz rsync://pkg.belenix.org/belenixrepo/html . The Python code that generates these pages are part of the spkg utility. You can see that in this file: http://belenix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/belenix/trunk/spec_files/ext-sources/spkg_mod.py?revision=180&view=markup Look for functions named genhtml and html_pkginfo. I am also looking for help with the spkg utility (written in Python), testing and enhancements and going forward and GUI like PackageKit ported to BeleniX. Feel free to come back with your questions/doubts and let me know what help you will need. Regards, Moinak.
