Announcing pkg_search

[Matthias Schmidt]

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-0.6.2nb8	Configuration 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:

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
