How can I find projects across multiple open-source code repositories?

Question

There are lots of open-source code repositories - SourceForge, Google Code, Project Kenai, etc.

Is there a one-stop place where I can find, discover, or search for open-source projects across all of these repositories? Or do I have to visit all of them to find something I'm interested in?

Edit: I should specify that I'm interested in searching project descriptions, not just lines of code. I'd like to answer, "Is there an existing tool for doing X?" - and is it actively maintained, and other higher-level questions like that.

Krugle allows you to search across open source code, open source projects and even SCM check-in comments. What's not to love?

doesn't this only search freshmeat projects? – ninesided Jan 13 '09 at 19:46
It a catalog where any project can be registered. – innaM Jan 13 '09 at 20:16
the fact that you have to register a project there first makes it kind of limited then – ninesided Jan 15 '09 at 22:52
Kind of, yes. But 45,413 projects sounds pretty good to me and since anyone can register a project and many authors of OS projects register them themselves, you are likely to have a pretty good pre-filtered catalog. – innaM Jan 16 '09 at 10:23
Hmm. It seems that some people really hate either me or freshmeat. – innaM Feb 01 '09 at 16:04

There are several directories for open source software, e.g:

Search google for "open source directory" to find others.
