I recall it requires MySQL and some other stuff.. I'm actually using an older version of the lxr software, 0.3.1, which doesn't make use of a back-end SQL database, rather, some simple db-based data stores and glimpse for searches. It was a lot easier to set up, once I fixed some rather critical bugs :-). I've gone ahead and dropped a snapshot of the DFBSD sys tree on fxr as well, and am currently cvsuping opendarwin source to drop a recent snapshot of xnu. I'm not sure if there are any DFBSD tags worth using other than HEAD, so I just used a timestamp for the checkout. The rearrangement of the DFBSD tree makes diffing between FreeBSD and DFBSD bits a little more difficult, but in many cases it's fairly feasible. I've been trying to decide how to improve diffability between the FreeBSD and Darwin trees: most FreeBSD bits compare directly with xnu/bsd/..., not xnu/..., and lxr isn't very flexible about how it sets up diff comparisons. I've also noticed that lxr is currently unwilling to index macros as identifiers when they're generated at compile-time, which means (for example) that you have to use freetext searches to find vnode operation macro use. I'm not sure how much more time I'm willing to invest in further refining lxr itself, but I'll keep the source code snapshots up-to-date and bring in new sources of kernel source code as appropriate.

Re: Experimental FreeBSD and Linux kernel source cross reference web site
FYI, lxr's C parsing code appears to dislike some of our C constructs. I haven't had a chance to dig in much yet, but this is a warning that there are some glitches (for example, kern_prot.c seems to be improperly parsed in RELENG_4). Also, the identifier database seems somewhat prone to corruption if aborted part way through processing; the identifier database for HEAD appears currently to be corrupted so I'm rebuilding it. So if an identifier search fails unexpectedly, or you notice that a C file is not highlighted with cross-reference links for important identifiers, that's probably why: try again in ten minutes.
