Description-en: maintenance and search tools for a Xapian index of Debian packages
This package provides update-apt-xapian-index, a tool to maintain a Xapian
index of Debian package information in /var/lib/apt-xapian-index, and
axi-cache, a command line search tool that uses the index.
.
axi-cache allows one to search packages very quickly, and it also interfaces
with the shell command line completion in a smart way, providing
context-sensitive keyword and tag suggestions even before the search command
is actually run.
.
update-apt-xapian-index allows plugins to be installed in
/usr/share/apt-xapian-index to index all sorts of extra information, such as
Debtags tags, popcon information, package ratings and anything else that would
fit.
.
The index generated by update-apt-xapian-index is self-documenting, as it
contains an autogenerated README file with information on the index layout and
all the data that can be found in it.
