I was taking a walk on the Linux side and saw some nifty features
in the package manipulation utility (rpm in this case). One thing
is the ability to verify a package (rpm -V package). Another is
the ability to use the simple package name without version numbers
("rpm -q -i package" instead of "rpm -q -i package-1.2.3b").
Any chance the FreeBSD package utilities could inherit these?
How about a single pkg command with switches for info, add, etc.?
Mike
