For PackageKit's "app-install", I wanted to list all
ports/packages that had a .desktop file (=3D an "app").

This ended up in a large number of "false positives",
since there is no list of the contents of each package.
So the brute-force method is to download *all* of them.

For Slackware, which also uses tarballs for packages,
it was easier because they also make a MANIFEST file
available in addition to the FILE_LIST (=3D ls -lR)...

=
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-13.1/slac=
kware64/FILE_LIST
=
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-13.1/slac=
kware64/MANIFEST.bz2
=
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-13.1/slac=
kware64/PACKAGES.TXT

Would it be possible to make such a file available
for FreeBSD Packages too ? (maybe even both of them)

PS. Here was the simple script I used to create mine:

#!/bin/sh

MF=3D/tmp/MANIFEST

for tbz in All/*.tbz
do
  echo $tbz
  echo "++=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D" >> ${MF}
  echo "||" >> ${MF}
  echo "||   Package: $tbz" >> ${MF}
  echo "||" >> ${MF}
  echo "++=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D" >> ${MF}
  tar tjvf $tbz >> ${MF}
done
