How does that translate to "putting it first in the description would be best"? When you are searching for something based on description in our packages, why would you not use pkg-get -D what-you-what or pkgutil (whatever the syntax is) ? and in that case, as I have mentioned, why would it matter whether the string you want is first, or last? _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
