I think it's fairly clear that recursing through installed packages with consistent dependecies isn't going to find a package that isn't in the set of all installed packages. The remaining question is whether -Ra also recurses though new dependencies, and that's covered in the entry for -R. It doesn't really matter though, since -aRr is only a waste of keystrokes. > Perhaps the only way to positively ascertain the correct answer would > be to actually study the apps code, opts.def_option("-a", "--all", "Do with all the installed packages") { |$all| $recursive = false $upward_recursive = false } ... opts.def_option("-r", "--recursive", "Do with all those depending on the given packages" << NEXTLINE << "as well") { $recursive = true unless $all } opts.def_option("-R", "--upward-recursive", "Do with all those required by the given packages" << NEXTLINE << "as well / Fetch recursively if -F is specified") { $upward_recursive = true unless $all $fetch_recursive = true } ... if $fetch_recursive cmdargs << 'checksum-recursive' else cmdargs << 'checksum' end _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
