Internally the website use the pkgid of the rpm to identify the rpm you request.

Url look like: http://sophie.zarb.org/viewrpm/75d73fe56068b404ee6754052e4027c1.

This is fine if you want to this rpm and not another having maybe same name, version, release and architecture.

But this do not warranty this link will be allways valid, the rpms can disapear from mirrors and then the database. In most case, it is simply replace by another one more recent.

Usually you'll prefer an url allways showing the last rpm for a specific distribution. This is possible:

building such url

http://sophie.zarb.org/[s]rpm/[[version],[arch]]|[all]/name,[version[-release]]
  • The first part should by rpm or srpm, depending if you want to see binary or source rpm
  • The second part is the distribution where is located the rpm:
    • distribution version (optionnal), a coma, distribution architecture (optionnal)
    • all to search in the whole database
  • the last part of the url should be the rpm name, optionnaly followed by a version of the rpm.

Examples

  1. last rpm name basesystem in the 2006.0 for i586: http://sophie.zarb.org/rpm/2006.0,i586/basesystem
  2. last source rpm named basesytem for 2006.0: http://sophie.zarb.org/srpm/2006.0,/basesystem
  3. last rpm named basesystem for i586: http://sophie.zarb.org/rpm/,i586/basesystem
  4. last source rpm named basesytstem 10.0 in the whole database: http://sophie.zarb.org/srpm/all/basesystem,10.0
