We can always clean it up later but being a nice simple little script I don't think we need to create a contrib infrastructure for it. -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is similar to the search on pkgsrc.se, where if the package name you search for is an exact match, you go right to the page for it instead of having to click through a search results page with only one result.

Sure, sounds nice. I'll have a look after it and report back. Regards, Matthias

I'll have a look after it and report back. That'd be bad if you ever want to use it in a script though. And a program that changes its output in unexpected ways? Yuck. (Imagine if ls did that...)

It'd be relatively easy to add a switch to force always list behavior, which is less common than the need to get detailed info. Plus, it's pretty easy to tell which behavior you would get depending on if a version number is included.
Announcing pkg_search
Hi guys,
I wrote a small script called pkg_search to help me searching my local
pkgsrc tree for a package without using bmake search key=. Its not
a big deal, but it eases my daily pkg_add life a bit :)
Example:
# pkg_search fvwm
fvwm-2.4.20 Newer version of X11 Virtual window manager
fvwm-2.5.24 Development version of X11 Virtual window manager
fvwm-themes-0.6.2nb8Configuration framework for fvwm2 with samples
fvwm-wharf-1.0nb1 Copy of AfterStep's Wharf compatible with fvwm2
fvwm1-1.24rnb1 Virtual window manager for X
# pkg_search -i fvwm-2.5.24
Name: fvwm-2.5.24-50
Dir : wm/fvwm-devel
Desc: Development version of X11 Virtual window manager
URL : any
Deps: perl=5.0
[...]
You can find it and a man page here:
http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/pkg_search/
BTW: It works under FreeBSD as well. {Net,Open}BSD might work as
well (with possible adoption), but I don't have machines here to test.
Regards,
Matthias
