This isn't a life or death situation but it's the first time I've noticed this oddity. I've always used "make search name=" from /usr/ports to find a particular port to install but it seemed to fail finding phpMyAdmin. This is on a 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 box where I cvsup the ports tree nightly. # cd /usr/ports # make search name=phpmyadmin # make search name=php | grep phpmyadmin -B 1 -A 4 Port: phpMyAdmin-2.5.7.1 Path: /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin Info: A set of PHP-scripts to administer MySQL over the web Maint: m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk B-deps: R-deps: apache-1.3.31_2 expat-1.95.7 mod_php4-4.3.7_3,1 mysql-client-4.0.20 perl-5.8.4 Then I thought about the possibility of case sensitivity: # make search name=phpMyAdmin Port: phpMyAdmin-2.5.7.1 Path: /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin Info: A set of PHP-scripts to administer MySQL over the web Maint: m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk B-deps: R-deps: apache-1.3.31_2 expat-1.95.7 mod_php4-4.3.7_3,1 mysql-client-4.0.20 perl-5.8.4 I didn't think this used to be case sensitive so I tried it on a 5.2-RELEASE development box that hasn't had anything, ports or otherwise, updated since January. # make search name=phpmyadmin Port: phpMyAdmin-2.5.4 Path: /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin Info: A set of PHP-scripts to adminstrate MySQL over the web Maint: nbm@FreeBSD.org Index: databases www B-deps: R-deps: apache-1.3.29_1 expat-1.95.6_1 mysql-client-4.0.16 perl-5.6.1_15 php4-4.3.4_2 Hmmm. Not case sensitive. I notice /usr/ports/README mentions "make search key=" but not "make search name=". Has something changed or is it just me?
