AFAIK, unfortunately, there's no simple way - i.e., there's no
general way - to answer the question, "what does a package
provide?", prior to fully installing it first and finding out by
hand.
This will do it:
fink build sagasu
dpkg -c /sw/fink/debs/sagasu_1.0.6-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
OR, if you want to go ahead and install it:
fink install sagasu
dpkg -L sagasu
Thanks, Ben. I'm about to give it a try, but the sagasu package
depends on a bunch of other packages that I don't have on my machine,
and it will take pretty long until I see how it really works with
successful compilation of all of them.
Erm, that was just an example of how to get a contents listing. It will
work with any package. But, if you want to try sagasu please do let me
know how it works so i can put it in stable.
Off-line topic: the package name sounds like a Japanese word meaning
"search". If so, why is it named in Japanese? Has UNIX used up all the
English synonyms of "search" already? ;-)
dunno.
