Here's my tcsh completeion settings for it (since I wrote that, I have changed to zsh, but I haven't yet rewritten the completions for it) : complete pkg_info "p@*@F:/var/db/pkg/@" complete pkg_delete "p@*@F:/var/db/pkg/@" complete pkg_checksum "p@*@F:/var/db/pkg/@" The last one, pkg_checksum, is a simple perl script which uses pkg_info to get the checksums for all installed files and checks that they matches the actual files (I originally wrote it to find the file I had modified to make jade work for large files, not remembering that it was mentioned in the pkg_info for jade :-) ). -- Rasmus Kaj ------------------ rasmus@kaj.a.se - http://Raditex.se/~kaj/ \ Never try to outstubborn a cat -Lazarus Long \------------------------------------------------- http://Raditex.se/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
