I'm running the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu Quantal and I've used extensively Kodos, a user friendly regex editor.

It seems that for some reasons, this package has been deleted from the Ubuntu Quantal repositories. (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/amd64/kodos/2.4.9-6.3ubuntu1)

Is someone aware about what was the motive of such decision ? For those who, like me, used this utility, what choices are we left with ?

If possible, I'd like to avoid any compilation nor the need to virtualize a previous Ubuntu release just to use one utility.

Thank you in advance to shed some light on this point.

Old deps for python-qt3 et al were replaced with -qt4, you can either update your repository refs or install manually (make sure to resolve the deps).

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~), python, pyqt4-dev-tools.

http://ppa.launchpad.net/phobie/updates/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kodos/kodos_2.4.9+20120813-0ubuntu0px1.dsc

Here's the .deb pkg: http://ppa.launchpad.net/phobie/updates/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kodos/kodos_2.4.9+20120813-0ubuntu0px1_all.deb

Kiki is still in quantal but is a lot less advanced.

Kiki is a free environment for regular expression testing (ferret). It allows you to write regexes and test them against your sample text, providing extensive output about the results.

With Kiki the expression is evaluated when you press the "Evaluate"-button while with Kodos the evaluation is real-time.

I've built Kodos for raring now, see ppa:kaleissin/monty, and I'm planning to build it for any future ubuntu I use.

I'm not sure it is an equivalent but I used regexxer in the not too distant past.
