- 4oo4 4y agoAlso apt-file so you don't have to leave the terminal
- treffer 4y agoIt seems to put lore focus on the extracted dpkg. So you can browse and download the unpacked files. I prefer the search on the original sites, but this looks neat if you want the payload of a package.
- 1kurac 4y agoIn that case, what's wrong with https://sources.debian.org https://sources.debian.org (other than people apparently not being aware of it)?
- cbsks 4y agosources.debian.org has the source for the package. apt-browse.org has the files that are installed by the package. Compare: https://sources.debian.org/src/htop/2.0.2-1/ https://sources.debian.org/src/htop/2.0.2-1/ https://www.apt-browse.org/browse/debian/stretch/main/amd64/htop/2.0.2-1/ https://www.apt-browse.org/browse/debian/stretch/main/amd64/...
- epilys 4y agoYou can see the contents of a package in Debian's package site, you have to go to the available architectures of a package and select the list of files for the one you want You can also search contents of packages if you select the option in search (the other options are package name, description)
- haunter 4y agoThe tracker is even better imo For example https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/curl https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/curl

- rgovostes 4y agoFor one, packages.ubuntu.com throws errors or is down all the time. (I got an Internal Server Error just now). The usability of searching "package directories" vs "the contents of packages", having to toggle between package names vs "source package names" vs descriptions, and choosing substring matching modes is... well, very typically Linux.
