Creating web access to source code (aka OpenSolaris source browser)

Post by Trond Norby » Thu, 22 Dec 2005 00:34:42



Hello.

I have a large software system that my coworkers would like to search
and browse with a web-browser. We do currently have such a system
configured with glimpse, but it running on Linux. I am currently trying
to reduce the number of different OS-versions / servers, and would like
to move this functionality to a Solaris server.

Before I start to configure glimpse on Solaris I would like to know if
there is a better alternative out there. The Source Browser on
OpenSolaris looks great, but I didn't find any information on what
software it is using so I could give it a try....

Any hints / pointers would be appreciated!

Trond

At the bottom of the page http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/
you'll find:

"served by OpenGrok"

with a link which leads to:
