Installed package-info also gets displayed, but not installed packages not (but they seem to be unpacked though). >How-To-Repeat: run pkg_info. See the speed Make sure packages (preferably some large ones) exist in /usr/ports/packages/All, i.e. using pkg_tarup on X and moving the .tgz's to /All) export PKG_PATH=/usr/ports/packages/All run pkg_info. It's slow. >Fix: Dunno, didn't look into it since it's low priority and maybe on purpose. Should be documented though. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
