Since Paul Wise advertised dedup.debian.net already, I have a few more bits.
This was an afternoon proof-of-concept thingy that kind of accidentally got a debian.net pointer, but so be it. It seems to be somewhat useful. The service basically records checksums of all regular files in Debian sid main and provides a web interface to this database.

Missing. > Are there tools to generate them? The software is available in git://murkel.subdivi.de/~helmut/debian-dedup.git, but currently lacks any documentation. (Hey it was just a proof-of-concept, right?) All data is obtained by examining binary packages and stored in a sqlite database. I am currently importing sid main. A snapshot of the database at a time where letters "a" till "libm" were imported is available at http://murkel.subdivi.de/~helmut/dedup.sql.gz (175MB). I intend to replace this dump with a larger one once the import is complete. And finally to answer Zack's mail: I added the missing service information in git, but I need to wait with deploying until the import run is complete. So yeah, bug reports, comments and of course patches are welcome. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
