Description:

This search engine allows you to search the contents of Ubuntu distributions for any files (or just parts of file names) that are part of packages. You can also get a full list of files in a given package.Adapted for hardy release. Removed the obsolete powerpc data for hardy. I'm currently evaluation if and how I shouldinclude information about ports.ubuntu.com packages here. Since archive.ubuntu.com is currently unusableI use nl.archive.ubuntu.com as source for the data until the situation normalizes again.2008-02-21The downtime today was caused by some yet undiagnosed kernel troubles aftera faulty hard disk was exchanged. Sorry for any inconvenience.2008-02-19Switched packages.ubuntu.com to the newer codebase that also runson packages.debian.org. The two most important changes for usersare that most pages are now generated dynamically (which makesfor faster updates and more flexibility) and that the searchfunctions should be much faster now.Still waiting for a volunteer that optimizes the used stylesheets,I myself have not much talent in this area...2007-10-21Add hardy.2007-10-18Change default release to gutsy.2007-07-28Drop old releases since they also got dropped from archive.ubuntu.com.2007-04-29Feisty is released. Pages updated accordingly.2006-11-20The hard drive of the server was replaced today after it began to actup. Most stuff should be up and running again. I accidentally deleted theinfo about new packages though, so that will be not reliable for the nextfew days.Added edgy-backports to the homepage and the search formsThe "Bug reports" links now correctly point to Launchpad for all packages.Thanks to all the people that reported this error to me.I added an robots.txt to ban some people trying tomirror the site by means of wget -r. If forever reasonyou need to mirror the site please contact me by mail so we can dothis by other means that won't stress the server as much.While looking at the log statistics I noticed that apparentlypackages.ubuntulinux.org also points to my serverwithout me knowing. I fixed the apache configuration so that it nowknows about that and handles it correctly.Linking to a CSS file on the official Ubuntu homepagewas a bad idea and the page had some glitches when it disappeared.Most of the issues should be fixed by now.Sorry for any performance issues with the site. My little serveris not always able to handle the many hits of this site (close to2,000,000 per month). I guess I will have to search for anotherhosting solution in the near future.The contents files are updated again, so I removed any warningsand added the appropriate links backThe "Check for bug reports" links now point to Launchpad foruniverse/multiverse packages. Suggested byj -at- bootlab -dot- org.Finally, I migrated to the "new" layout. Comments and Patchesabout the remaining quirks welcome.I've merged the new changelog to HTML conversion code from the Debianbranch. I still have no idea how to handle the requests to link Ubuntubugs to the Ubuntu BTS and Debian bugs to the Debian BTS. Suggestionswelcome.2005-08-30I've added a warning to this site about the outdated Contentsfiles in the Ubuntu archive which make the contents search completelyuseless for anything after warty. I've actually no idea whom to askabout this since I don't seem to be able to find out on the Ubuntuweb site who is ftp-master in Ubuntu?You can now also browse the packages fromhoary-backportsI have begun to work on integrating the current Ubuntu web design withmy pages. There are still some issues to work out but as a teaser Ialready converted the front page. Feel free to mail me with commentson how I could use the new layout better.2005-04-14hoary is released and now this fact is also beginning to show on thispage. Please report all errors you find with the new breezy pages.2005-04-06The transition should be completed by now and I've installed somerewrite rules so that old URLs should also point to the new location.The changelog extraction script is still running so there are stillsome (more) broken links. Please report all other problems you mightencounter.2005-04-05From tomorrow on this site will be available at packages.ubuntu.com.The necessary setup is done on both my side and on the side of theubuntu people but I will use the occasion for some configurationclean-up and a full rebuild. Stay tuned ;)2005-04-02At http://cvs.infodrom.org/packages.debian.org/po/?cvsroot=debian.deyou can find some .pot files. Please translate them and send them backto me (You may want to take a look at the translations available athttp://cvs.debian.org/webwml/portuguese/po/?cvsroot=webwmlespecially for files like langs.pot). This will ensure that at leastthe constant strings on all the pages are translated (Some of thestrings in these file are only needed on packages.debian.org)The translations of package descriptions I took from the DDTP (DebianDescriptions Translation Project) which seems to be rather inactivelately. Unless this is fully revived or another similar project iscreated there is little I can do on this front.I talked briefly with Daniel Silverstone of Canonical atFOSDEM. He said that Ubuntuwill get his own Packages page, but It will be a while.2005-01-24In the last two days there were several reboots of the serverneeded (kernel upgrades, activation and testing of a new rescuesystem). Sorry for any inconviences this caused.2005-01-11There are changelogs and copyright files available now. I alsoadded links to the Ubuntu bugzilla, but I'm not sure yet that theywork completly. Feedback welcome. (Changelogs and copyright filesmay be missing for some packages since I can only mirror thei386 and powerpc debs due to space constraints)
