Its not a big deal, but it eases my > daily pkg_add life a bit :) Hi I am also interested in `pkg_install' tools. A couple of weeks ago I planned to rewrite the `pkg_install' tools from scratch. And first of all I wrote a simple `pkg_info', which does what your `pkg_search' does, but it uses berkeley db to store package information. My idea is that `pkg_install' tools should be implemented in a combination of shell scripts and C codes. That way both the shell script parts and C parts would be somewhat straightforward compared with the current implementation of `pkg_install'. > > Example: > > % pkg_search fvwm2 > fvwm2-i18n-imlib-2.4.20_1 Popular virtual window manager for X > % pkg_search -i fvwm2 > Name : fvwm2-i18n-imlib-2.4.20_1-50 > Dir : /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2-i18n > Desc : Popular virtual window manager for X > URL : http://www.fvwm.org/ > Deps : compositeproto-0.4 > [...] > > You can find it and a man page here: > > http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/pkg_search/ > > BTW: It works under DragonFly as well. {Net,Open}BSD might work as > well (with possible adoption), but I don't have machines here to test. > > Regards, > > Matthias > > > -- > Dipl.-Inf.
