Package: apt-file Version: 3.2.2 Severity: wishlist It would be nice to have an option to enable searching source packages that is easier to remember & type than `-I dsc` or `--index-names dsc` such as -s --src --source.
I think the full --source option would be good to have for use in scripts. The -s option would be good for use on the command-line for when you remember the short option. The --src option would be good for use on the command-line when you forgot the -s option. I'm currently working around this using a shell alias: alias apt-file-src='apt-file -I dsc' Please note that in apt-file 2.x from Debian jessie and earlier the -s option existed and did something else, but apt-file 3.x has been around for a while now, Debian jessie is now unsupported by the Debian security/LTS teams and it seems unlikely that the old option would be used by any scripts. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (900, 'testing-debug'), (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable-debug'), (800, 'unstable'), (790, 'buildd-unstable'), (700, 'experimental-debug'), (700, 'experimental'), (690, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.7.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apt-file depends on: ii apt 2.1.8 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.36+b3 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b5 ii libregexp-assemble-perl 0.36-1 ii perl 5.30.3-4 apt-file recommends no packages. apt-file suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
