Also possible, but it will find _any_ file (or even directory) which contains the search pattern. This may be a lot, whereas the _question_ you want answered is: Where does <something> live within the ports tree? For this question, I think using "make search" is the more convenient method, especially because of its output: Whereas find will list (correctly) found files and directories, "make search" will give you the port directory and additional information. In my opinion, this is easier to read. By the way, you can turn # cd /usr/src # make search name="freetype" into # make -C /usr/ports search name="freetype" and create a shell alias, if you need this more often. :-) Even better: If you intend to search for some word(s) in the ports description, use key= instead of name= to search for keywords. Finally allow me to repeat "man 7 ports" which lists several other search "queries". -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
