Brock,
Thanks. I see that this is not a part of manifest data, so it's
unfortunately not supported :(
I wonder then if it make sense to perform search for the description
and then local query to get package name then? Or maybe allow to
search against description or name and at some point the fmri will be
available in the repositores??
I might note that the value of legacy actions would be a great
workaround for a lot of packages in the meantime.
As an example, look at this output:
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/search/0/SUNWvim
legacy_pkg legacy SUNWvim
pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.93:20080708T171331Z
...snip...
While not all packages have a legacy action, most do, and that is
available on the server.
So, you could always search these in *addition* to the fmri.
Cheers,
Well, we index the legacy actions, so you're certainly welcome to search
on them. I think that adding legacy actions to all packages just for
naming them might be controversial. I think adding the name directly is
more likely to be something we can all agree on. My hope is that it will
be a simple, quick fix. I just haven't had a chance to look into it yet
to find that out.
Brock
