OpenBSD.app

A site that allows quick full-text searching of OpenBSD packages for -stable and -current.

Hacking

Generating FTS5 databases

$ sqlite3 stable.db
> ATTACH DATABASE '/usr/local/share/sqlports' AS ports;
> CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE
	    ports_fts
	USING fts5(
	    FULLPKGNAME,
	    FULLPKGPATH,
	    COMMENT,
	    DESCRIPTION);
> INSERT INTO
	    ports_fts
	(FULLPKGNAME, FULLPKGPATH, COMMENT, DESCRIPTION)
	SELECT
	    fullpkgname,
	    _paths.fullpkgpath,
	    comment,
	    _descr.value
	FROM
	    ports._ports
	JOIN _paths ON _paths.id=_ports.fullpkgpath
	JOIN _descr ON _descr.fullpkgpath=_ports.fullpkgpath;
> .quit

.. and the same for current.db using sqlports from -current.

Running on OpenBSD

Currently OpenBSD is missing the p5-Mojo-SQLite package, so one will either have to make it themselves (portgen) or wait for it to be added to -current

$ doas pkg_add p5-Mojolicious p5-Text-Markdown p5-Mojo-SQLite sqlports
$ morbo openbsd.app.pl

Running with nix/NixOS

nix shell
morbo openbsd.app.pl

TODOs

• use OpenBSD::Pledge / use OpenBSD::Unveil.
• Automate building of the fts DBs.
  • Fetch $release sqlports and $current sqlports and create.
• OpenSearch support.
• Parse input to match Full-text Query Syntax: https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html .
  • Only searching for letters for now.
• Style.
• Stable and unstable search.
