Suggesting hint at apt-file at debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents
Hello all,
I believe it would be very useful
to add a short hint at apt-file package
right at this package search engine:
https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents
Wording could be something like:
[suggestion 1]
For package content search on your local Debian-based system,
you may install the <i>apt-file</i> package there.
[suggestion 2]
Package content search may also be done locally on your Debian-based system:
simply install the <i>apt-file</i> package there.
To be inserted probably right after section:
=====
There is also a shortcut available:
https://packages.debian.org/file:path for the search for paths
ending in the keyword.
=====
That way one would potentially take a sizeable amount of search load
off this public engine server.
I already grabbed entire webwml repo
with the intent of submitting a ready-made patch,
alas, this engine implementation does not seem to be a part of this repo.
Thanks a lot for all your efforts,
Andreas Mohr
