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?
If a user specifies -p and queries an older server, we tell the user,
don't do that, in more polite terms.
Right, but I was just pointing out that short of two known repositories
(blastwave and sunfreeware), every one of them will support search v1.
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.
I agree. I'm not sure now is when to make the switch.
When we upgrade the depot seems like a good time. It would also get
more testing of search v1 functionality, right?
