i don't *mean* to be stupid. it just happens. need a refresher...
I've obviously spent too much time away from the console lately. I am looking for a package and can't, for the life of me, remember how to find them. I know there is a search key option to a command, but I can't remember which command. make? pkg_info? I've tried searching the archives, but I can't seem to find it. I've looked for 'find package' and 'find port'. I found a package finder at http://ports.puffy.nu/?f=s, but this doesn't really help me remember the proper command. Also, it says ethereal is in /usr/ports/net/ethereal, but I can't find it. Like the subject says, 'i don't *mean* to be stupid. it just happens. need a refresher...' Any help is appreciated, rvb

If you have the ports tree installed, cd /usr/ports make search key=foobar Also, it says ethereal is in /usr/ports/net/ethereal, but I can't find it. ethereal has been removed due to many many security problems in the code, IIRC.

Any help is appreciated, rvb I'm not sure i understand your question completely. pkg_info tells you what is currently installed. What version are you running? I have a 3.5 box and a 3.6 box, still haven't loaded 3.7 yet :(, and the command find /usr/ports/ -type d -name ethereal finds /usr/ports/net/ethereal on the 3.5 box but not on the 3.6 box. -- There's an art to planning your day.

I am looking for a package and can't, for the life of me, remember how to find them. For packages, you'll usually find the file 'index.txt' in the appropriate package directory on your mirror listing the available packages. Download it and use grep. It isn't hard to write a wrapper script for pkg_add which downloads this file (if your local copy is too old), searches for the name or pattern you specify on the command line, offers you a choice if there's more than one match (possibly using pkg_info to retrieve a detailed descripton), and then installs your chosen package from the site you specify in PKG_PATH with sudo pkg_add. In fact, you could probably knock up a patch pkg_add to provide such a feature itself. If anyone does this, be sure to post it here :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
