Gregory, OK, you are starting to get it. Now, do I edit it to have the 168 results from pkg_info -a | grep '^Information for' into the file? This is unnecessarily complicated. For example, I don't need a line for qt-2.3.1 if I have one for kde-2.2. In fact, on my current system 102 packages are requirements of other packages and would not be needed in my personal workstation profile. Really, the only packages I should have in my workstation profile are the 66 which are 'maximal' (not required by anything). This kind of output can have other uses, as someone mentioned it can be used to do a 'maximal' pkg_delete. It might also be nice to concisely summarize the packages present in terms of the maximal packages. -r >X-Mailer: exmh version 2.4 05/15/2001 with nmh-1.0.4 >From: Gregory Bond <gnb@itga.com.au> >To: Ross Lippert <ripper@eskimo.com> >Cc: sjt@cisco.com, freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Re: pkg_info Ideals >In-reply-to: Your message of Sun, 17 Feb 2002 16:24:55 -0800. >Mime-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii >Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 11:36:45 +1100 >Sender: gnb@itga.com.au > >> I don't think so, bc what I'd like to do is equivalent to making my >> own instant-workstation port based on what packages I have on my >> present workstation. > >Well, take ports/misc/instant-workstation/Makefile and edit it to suit.
