Project Name
Create Local MXR
Project Description
Many developers without highspeed network access would like to be able to use MXR but can't. This project will build a lightweight, installable Windows package that gives the full functionality of MXR locally. This will also include a Prism front-end specific for the task of using this local MXR.
Resources: MXR source, patches to lxr in the tree

Project Details
- Project begun in conjunction with Mozilla Developer Resource Kit project.
- I'm not sure the best way to do this, in terms of having a usermode, lightweight web server that can run this on Windows. We could use something like lighttpd or one of the other small servers for win32. Ideally, this could run as an app vs. a service--people won't want to install a service just to search source code.
- Win32 port of lighttpd is here. 1.3M download, 5.34M installed. Takes ~3.3M RAM on startup.
- Need DB_File. I tried to get this working with msys-perl |perl -MCPAN -e 'install DB_File'| but it doesn't seem to work for me. So I installed ActivePerl, and get it that way |ppm install DB_File|.
- Index db file size for an index of a fresh trunk checkout = ~77.8MB
