--- Begin Message ---Package: grep-dctrl Version: 1.9 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if grep-dctrl were able to look at a merged view of two Debian control file sources. This would allow one at a glance to answer questions such as "Of all of the available packages matching this query, which do I have installed?" I need just such a thing for Debian Jr. I want to be able to generate a little web page, a la: grep-status -sPackage,Status,Description junior- |awk 'BEGIN {print "<html><head><title>Debian Jr. Packages</title><head><body><u1>Debian Jr. Packages</u1><p><table><tr><td>Package<td>Status<td>Description"} /^P/ {print "<tr><td>" $2} /^(S|D)/ {$1=""; print "<td>" $0} END {print "</table></p></body></html>"}' >jr-status.html The trouble with this is it is missing the descriptions for everything I don't have installed. This information would be accessible if grep-status were capable of merging the available file. The feature would be something like: cd /var/lib/dpkg ; grep-dctrl --merge available status ... The --merge would be implicitly on "Package:". I cannot imagine what other field it would make sense to merge on, but if you think it makes sense to allow other sorts of merges (from a set of "partial" Debian control files?) you might want to implement it in a more general way.
