Hi, I hereby announce a new Debian project: Debian Code Search. Debian Code Search is a search engine for program source code within Debian. It allows you to search all ≈ 17000 source packages, containing 130 GiB of FLOSS source code (including Debian packaging) with regular expressions. You can use the search engine at http://codesearch.debian.net/ Here are a few sample queries: • http://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=workaround+package%3Alinux • http://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=XCreateWindow • http://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=AnyEvent%3A%3AI3+filetype%3Aperl The corresponding thesis (and source code, of course) will be released soon (2013-01-15 being the deadline, but I hope I can do it earlier). I hope you find it useful and would love to hear your feedback. -- Best regards, Michael
