Hi
I have a couple of pkg related questions. Can you kindly help me out here. I am using build 131 and need couple of pointers on how to effectively search using IPS pkg commands.

- How do I limit pkg search -r (remote search) to limit searching within a given / specific build . By default, pkg search -r searches and displays the result from all the builds (111 - 131) .

- pkg search -r -o search.match *font* provides segmentation fault. Am I doing some thing wrong or is this a known issue ? For that matter, attribute based searching seems to always result in segmentation fault. So, I am hoping this is a known issue.

- How do I search for a IPS package that delivers a given a file ?

- How do I restrict the pkg search output to restrict the results only to list out the pkg names and its repository location ?

Will it be possible to improve on the current FAQ (especially in terms of how to search as to which package delivers a given file , dependents of a given package etc) . This should be useful for lot of newbies.

- Sriram
