Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-pkg mailing li=
st
<pkg@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 228232: ports-mgmt/pkg: pkg aliases for rquery not as complete as they
could be
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D228232



--- Description ---
One of the 'pkg alias' aliases in the default pkg.conf is 'roptions'.  It's
like 'options' except for that it uses 'rquery' instead of 'query' to allow=
 a
user to find the options of a remote package not installed on the system.
Three more aliases: all-depends, comment, and desc can be treated similarly,
and this diff adds rall-depends, rcomment, and rdesc to pkg.conf's alias li=
st.=20
This is extremely useful when choosing packages to install.
This diff was done on 11.1-RELEASE-p10.
