Hey Nixers, I frequently try to find where a particular package is declared, or patches, or other slightly more complicated search queries than GitHub will support.
I've been running Hound (https://github.com/etsy/hound) on my server for a few weeks now, and it does a really nice job. You can find it here: http://search.nix.gsc.io/ Here is finding where clang is defined via the search `clang =`: http://search.nix.gsc.io/?q=clang%20%3D Compare this to GitHub's nearly useless results: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/search?q=clang It indexes all the repositories on NixOS, updating every 30 seconds, excluding the following: - https://github.com/NixOS/nixos.git - https://github.com/NixOS/systemd.git - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git - https://github.com/NixOS/nixops-dashboard.git - https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-foundation.git Anyway, I hope someone else finds this useful. Best, Graham Christensen PS: I could open source the module to do this if someone wanted me to, it is fairly simple. The server it is on is a bit small, but other than traffic spikes it works quite quickly. If people use it a lot, I'd be happy to pay for a larger server. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
