If you don't know it yet: http://fxr.watson.org/ The search features from there are quite handy, didn't find anything like it in your tool yet. Also, a quick check of the pf source (what else) didn't turn up the cool feature you were talking about (i.e. filling in the $OpenBSD versions) http://oly.corecode.ath.cx/~corecode/cgi-bin/crosscgi.py?cmd=detail&sourceid=34780 http://oly.corecode.ath.cx/~corecode/cgi-bin/crosscgi.py?cmd=detail&sourceid=83740 It's really fast, though! How long does an index run take? On what hardware? How much space does it need for metadata? Does it index incremental? -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@xxxxxxxxxxx \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
