As a further followup. If we switch to -p being the default, then to search olders servers will require the user to specify -a. Given that it'll probably be a while before the servers we don't control switch over, I think this is another reason for defaulting to -a.
Since you have to deal with older servers being queried if the user provides -p, and we control the majority of the package servers that will be used for remote search, is there really that much concern?
I think you'd agree that from a usability standpoint, -p (showing package names for results) is a lot friendlier to most users, especially those new to OpenSolaris.
However, I leave it to you and the others to decide what happens here. Cheers, -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
