Yes, I released the informations but it's not easy, right.

My though are that I'm profoundly pissed by having rpmfind.org and
rpmfind.com domain "stolen" and I will definitely not help others building
the database until I get them back ... Sorry I was very very open-minded
w.r.t. the community, but *that* struck me as there is people ready
to make cash on free, open, hard work from other. He didn't even replied
to my mail. You probably cannot understand my level of frustration on
this topic. And again I'm usually doing eveything in the clear and trying
to make it easy for people to reuse my code and work (like in libxml)
and spending a great deal of effort and sweat to do so.

Complain to the sucker who stole those domains, that the only way
to get me back in an open mood w.r.t. rpm2html open developement.
Everything is there available, find it, I just won't spend time helping.
I'm sorry if the misbehaviour of one persone affects the community
in general, but unless the community manage to get this solved, I
don't think I will change my mind. I'm far far too frustrated ...
