<toc-add-entry name="note">Introductory notes</toc-add-entry>
<p>
All packages that are included in the official Debian distribution are
free according to the <a href="../social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free
Software Guidelines</a>. This assures free use and redistribution of the
packages and their complete source code. The official Debian distribution
is what is contained in the <em>main</em> section of the Debian archive.
</p>
<p>
As a service to our users, we also provide packages in separate sections
that cannot be included in the <em>main</em> distribution due to either a
restrictive license or legal issues. They include:
</p>
<div class="centerblock">
<dl>
<dt><em>Contrib</em></dt>
<dd>
Packages in this area are freely licensed by the copyright
holder but depend on other software that is not free.
</dd>
<dt><em>Non-Free</em></dt>
<dd>
Packages in this area have some onerous license condition
restricting use or redistribution of the software.
</dd>
<dt><em>Non-Free-Firmware</em></dt>
<dd>
This section is restricted to device firmware. While packages in this
area basically have the same underlying license restrictions as those
in non-free, a special exception has been made for them: even if not
being DFSG-free, packages from non-free-firmware are allowed to be
included in the official installation images.
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>
Note that same packages might appear in several distributions, but with
different version numbers.
</p>
<hr />
<toc-add-entry name="view">View package lists</toc-add-entry>
<dl>
<dt><a href="//packages.debian.org/stable/">View the packages in the
<strong>stable</strong> distribution</a></dt>
<dd>
<p>
This is the latest official release of the Debian
distribution. This is stable and well tested software, which changes
only if major security or usability fixes are incorporated.
</p>
<p>
See the <a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/">stable release pages</a>
for more information.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><a href="//packages.debian.org/testing/">View the packages in the
<strong>testing</strong> distribution</a></dt>
<dd>
<p>
This area contains packages that are intended to become part of the next
stable distribution. There are strict criteria a package in unstable (see
below) must obey before it can be added to testing.
Note that <q>testing</q> does not get the timely security updates
<a href="../security/faq#testing">from the security team</a>.
</p>
<p>
See the <a href="$(HOME)/releases/testing/">testing distribution pages</a>
for more information.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><a href="//packages.debian.org/unstable/">View the packages in the
<strong>unstable</strong> distribution</a></dt>
<dd>
<p>
This area contains the most recent packages in Debian. Once a
package has met our criterion for stability and quality of packaging,
it will be included in testing. <q>unstable</q> is also not supported
<a href="../security/faq#unstable">by the security team</a>.
</p>
<p>
Packages in unstable are the least tested and may contain
problems severe enough to affect the stability of your system.
Only experienced users should consider using this distribution.
</p>
<p>
See the <a href="$(HOME)/releases/unstable/">unstable
distribution pages</a> for more information.

#include "$(ENGLISHDIR)/distrib/search_packages-form.inc"
<p>There are shortcuts for some searches available:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>https://packages.debian.org/<var>name</var></code> for
the search on package names.</li>
<li><code>https://packages.debian.org/src:<var>name</var></code>
for the search on source package names.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<toc-add-entry name="search_contents">Search the contents of packages</toc-add-entry>
<p>
This search engine allows you to search the contents of Debian
distributions for any files (or just parts of file names) that are
part of packages.
You can also get a full list of files in a given package.
</p>
#include "$(ENGLISHDIR)/distrib/search_contents-form.inc"
<p>
There is also a shortcut available:
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>https://packages.debian.org/file:<var>path</var></code> for
the search for paths ending in the keyword.</li>
</ul>
