DataBase View is a report software designed for package systems such as RPM and dpkg. It offers users the ability to view data on packages in a clear and concise manner.
One of the key features of Package DataBase View is that it does not require lucid/gtk+/qt or any other big libraries. It can be used with or without a web server, and it runs without requiring a X server. The output can also be accessed without needing special privileges. However, access can be restricted by using the filesystem's chmod/chown or .htaccess for Apache.
Because the output is generated by a cronjob, the access time to the output is as fast as the computer can read/serve text files. Overall, Package DataBase View is a useful and straightforward tool that simplifies the process of viewing package management databases.
