Gummeldur rides again!

Just woke up from the inevitably long slumber on New Year's Day and thought: this is the day to make another stab at cross-indexing the Portage tree. I hate it when this itch comes up, so full of resolve, probably from the new year's resolution spirits still in action, I hacked together Gummeldur.

For now, it's pretty primitive, but at least it indexes all packages in our tree. There are numerous additions that need to be done before it gets anywhere interesting. As usual, I don't have enough time to spend on it, but eventually, I hope to get there.

And, no, this is not intended as a replacement for packages.gentoo.org. This is more inspired by projects like lxr, though admittedly, my ebuild parser needs more love to get there.

Update: Fixed bad link. Sorry about that.

re: Gummeldur rides again!

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the link you gave for Gummeldur simply points to dev.gentoo.org. Is there a working public version people can try out or was this post just to whet our appetite in anticipation of the release?

re: Gummeldur rides again!

Sorry. Updated the posting with the correct link.
