Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1
Severity: wishlist
Aptitude supports grouping packages in many useful ways. In
particular, the "pattern" grouping rule allows dividing up packages by
any arbitrary criteria. However, each set of packages will then
continue through each of the subsequent grouping rules. I'd like the
ability to create a group without sub-groups, while still applying the
grouping rules to other groups.
For example, if I specify this grouping rule:
pattern(?essential => Essential, ?true ||),status,section
, essential packages do go into a group labeled "Essential", but that
group still divides packages up by status (always "Installed Packages"
:) ) and then section. I'd like to put essential packages into a
group and have that group not further divided.
Even better if I could specify different grouping rules for different
pattern-matched groups, but I'd settle for having some of the pattern
groups terminal with no sub-grouping.
