Hey guys. I noticed another change in PM as a result of the switch to the list API: Items have unexpectedly (to me) gone missing from the package list. For instance, given:
$ pkg list -n SUNWlibatk NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION STATE UFOXI SUNWlibatk (joanmarie.homeunix.org) 0.5.11-0.127.1 installed u---- SUNWlibatk (localhost) 1.29.3-0.127 known ----- SUNWlibatk 0.5.11-0.128 known u---- I'd expect to be able to view any of the above publishers and see SUNWlibatk listed amongst the packages for that publisher. Prior to the switch to the list API, this is the case; post switch (at least with this patch), SUNWlibatk is not present in the package lists for the latter two publishers. >From what I gather, PM now does the equivalent to pkg list -a. $ pkg list -a SUNWlibatk NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION STATE UFOXI SUNWlibatk (joanmarie.homeunix.org) 0.5.11-0.127.1 installed u---- 1. Is this the intended/desired behavior for PM now? I'm hoping the answer is no. But if it is yes: 2. Padraig, John, Michal: Could you be persuaded to implement an RFE which would cause PM to optionally do the equivalent pkg list -n? :-) It would be nice to not have to bounce between the gui and the cli (or the web interface for a publisher) just to see what packages *might* be installable (i.e. after dealing with whatever constraints are preventing that currently). Thanks and take care. --joanie On Fri, 2009-12-04 at 08:39 +0000, Padraig O'Briain wrote: > Joanmarie Diggs has raised the following issue with me. > > With the new list API the openoffice translation packages, for example, > openoffice-es, have category Desktop (GNOME)/Localizations. > > The file opensolaris.org.sections does not contain the category > 'Localizations' for Desktop (GNOME).
