Before, we had roughly a table, and I could scan down the left column to read the port names. Now the description is in roughly the same place -- albeit indented by a couple spaces but it still interferes with my ability to scan the left column, which is no longer a column.I found it unreadable before. The old format used a scheme which did notwork with any terminal size. If your window was smaller than the description, it was wrapped to the next line. So there wasn't a clear first column before either, because the descriptions were 'too long'. So I decided to use an output format which will work on any terminal size with at least 80 columns (the often used standard). And with a break at 80 chars also longer descriptions are nice to read. Maybe we could also put the version and categories in a new line, so there will be always the first line of a output block with the port's name and nothing else?
