port list R* can't do what we want, can it? The shell tries to expand R* to match a file in the current directory, and otherwise exits with "No match". If one shields R* from the shell with quote marks, for example, then one gets a list of all ports starting with R or r, and there are too many of
them for comfort.


f...@mac:~:125 $ port list R*
R                              @2.8.0          math/R

That's running from trunk - so MacPorts version is

f...@mac:~:126 $ port
MacPorts 1.8.0
Entering interactive mode... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit)
[Users/face] > ^D
Goodbye

On my *old* system

f...@x:face:123 $ port
MacPorts 1.600
Entering interactive mode... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit)
[Users/face] > ^D
Goodbye
f...@x:face:124 $ port list R*
f...@x:face:125 $

Looks like you need a newer version of port ;-)
