I remember the previous discussion, but that had to do with your version of pkg_* tools. Outside of that context, "1.*" looks like a glob, and I was just using that to be descriptive. > portaudit understands these just fine, and I guess it is the main > client right now. I think VuXML.org is the main client :-) but of course that's not the point. As previously discussed, the semantics of VuXML and elements are package names and version numbers respectively, not globs or glob-like patterns. In particular, the semantics are not FreeBSD or FreeBSD Ports Collection specific. > Besides, it seems like this commit introduced some errors. How should > we handle this? Hit me over the head with the specific errors, please :-) Let's resolve them. Cheers, -- Jacques A Vidrine / NTT/Verio nectar@celabo.org / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@freebsd.org
