Plists are not supposed to be grappable. There's plenty automatic plist generation mechanisms used in ports tree besides PORTDATA not mentioning `${ECHO} >> ${TMPPLIST}' used it some ports, so plists are guaranteed to be incomplete and not usable for that purpose. With staging support I hope them to be reduced even more if not removed completely. PORTDATA is useful for all ports, as small plists still combine into significant part of overall plist mass. However I agree that it's sometimes useful to find in what package certain file resides before installing that package, but for that only complete plists from real packages are usable. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru
