Few things for me that I don't see an easy way to do on dxr.m.o right now at a glance. Search `file names` I might remember a file is called sut_lib for example, but unsure extension or where it is, but know I need to edit it! Search text strings within a specific filename wildcard, e.g. I might want a search for some method in any idl, but not care about the underlying implementation in C++ Further insight I can't easily provide unless http://mxr.mozilla.org/build and http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/ is replicated at dxr, I can provide insight on what the req's are for both setups (since build/ is many repos, while comm-central is 2 large repos and a few small ones) - For me personally comm-central is less important for my testing since mozilla-central meets most of the needs in useability. ~Justin Wood (Callek) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
