Web interface for ports collection is very inconvenient. I want to find package to install it by `pkg_add -r` command (because I don't have much time to build it from ports tree) but it's name on the site and in the package server differ. I've spent a lot of time trying to guess, what command I should enter to install openoffice.org-2.3.20071115 : `pkg_add -r openoffice.org`, `pkg_add -r openofficeorg-23`, `pkg_add -r openofficeorg23`, `pkg_add -r openoffice.org-2.3.20071115` or `pkg_add -r openoffice-org_23`. It's unbearable! Look at http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openoffice.org&searchon=names&suite=testing§ion=all It's simple. It gave me all information I need to know and I can type `apt-get install openoffice.org` or download precompiled package straight from the site. FIX: Show real package names in the search results and give a link to precompiled package.
