Now show details of how wide output would have to be, for pkg-get -c or equivalent in pkgutil, if there were no limits. Currently, the output fits.. just barely... into a standard 80-char screen. If you take away all limits, the output would probably require 150-char wide screen. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
