No more cast, no more crutches, Freedom ! Well I will still need a month before walking normally, but it's such a relief ! Also my mother left the hospital today, good.

Improved the PHP code of the search engine of rpmfind.net to add distro and arch filters. Also cleaned that code and added a way to retrieve the set of URL corresponding to the installed packages on a box. This can be a life-safer if your RPM database is corrupted beyond repair and all you have left is the list of packages in /var/log/rpmpkgs. This is relatively heavy on the server so limit it to small tests or real recovery needs. The trick is then to use the dbonly flag of rpm to repopulate the database.

starting to play with python/swig/libxml2 to evaluates various approaches to build Python bindings, fun but I hadn't had much time to toy with it yet.
