| Nice! Except that's the wrong "$1" and it handles "xemacs" poorly too
| (and doesn't handle non-installed packages, an unlikely need).
|
| This lets the user do some of the work (and I might remove "/^" and "-"):
|
| awk -F\| '/^'${1}'-/ { printf "%-40s %s\n", $1, $6 }' /usr/ports/INDEX | tr ' ' '.'
|
|
| Maybe the lesson here is to not post scripts. Does it start too many
| long threads?
Well, my point wasn't really to refine shell scripts or anything silly
like that.. just pointing out that the information is available in
/usr/ports/INDEX. :)
