Hello, Ara is a utility for searching Debian packages using your local database, somewhat like grep-dctrl or aptitude's search function.
You can do boolean combinations of regular expressions, equalities or inequalities on all available fields. Ara is available with a command-line, non-ncurses interface (ara) and a GTK2 interface (xara), see http://ara.alioth.debian.org/ Version 1.0.7 is now in incoming. Please note that there is a very old version (0.4) in testing/unstable. You can also use it on-line at http://ara.zapto.org/ Here's a request you can do with ara : section=utils and (not depends:(gtk or gnome or kde) or size<100000) and priority=optional and archive=unstable You can replace "and", "or" and "not" with "&", "|" and "!" to suit your taste. You can also omit "and", but then negation has a higher priority. Feel free to send comments and suggestions. -- Berke Durak
