Hi there,
1- How does one search for available flavors of a package by partial
or full package origin?
For example, given origin of "devel/lua-stdlib" would install the packages
for all available versions of lua (5.1--5.4). Only way I found that that
would be the case is during the actual install.
Issues here ...
- "pkg search lua-stdlib" does not show any results;
- "pkg install lua-stdlib@lua54" fails to find any available packages.
Only
thing that would work is "lua54-stdlib";
- to be able to "-x" option, I would need to have prior knowledge to use
"lua.+?stdlib" ( "lua.+?-stdlib" does not work) to give to
pkg-{info,search}.
2- How do specify the "flavor"s for various packages in a file so that I
would
not need to search or specifically have to specify them to pkg tools?
