Well, I've always wished that pkg_info and pkg_delete could take regexp style wildcards as arguments. Then you could do ``pkg_info emacs*'' or ``pkg_delete *gtk*'' to do the expected thing on them, and I think that would obey the POLA to such an extent that you wouldn't even need new special arguments like -P or -F. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
