Control: tags -1 + wontfix
Hi,
2008-09-10 03:35 jida...@jidanni.org:
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1
Severity: wishlist
Regarding
%T Tagged 1 No Outputs “*” if the package is tagged, nothing otherwise.^[16]
Mention if we're talking about the (--)add-user-tag tags (sounds like
it) or some other tags.
I can't test to find out as
^[16] Currently tagging is not supported; this escape is for future use.
This is exactly what it says, an unimplemented feature (akin to mutt
tags).
Wait, now it sounds like some other tags, e.g., debtags.
OK, anyway do add a %escape to show if a packages has any add-user-tag
tags. Hmmm, maybe a count of how many too if any...
And maybe an additonal %escape to give all their names...
There are almost no letters left of these escapes, and I don't think
that it's good to use (more than) one for user-tags for the time being,
since there are other requests in the BTS to use escapes for "source"
packages and others, which probably would see wider use.
So marking +wontfix for the time being.

Also in the docs,
| | |Select packages that are |
|?user-tag | |marked with a user-tag |
| | |matching the regular |
| | |expression user-tag. |
Say
?user-tag(user-tag)
just like you (almost!, harmonize with the above please) do here:
?user-tag(tag)
This term matches any package that is marked with a user-tag matching the
regular expression tag.
Also say debtags here,
?tag(tag), ~Gtag
Matches packages whose Tag field matches the regular expression tag. For
^DEBTAGS
instance, the pattern ?tag(game::strategy) would match strategy games.
For more information on tags and debtags, see http://
debtags.alioth.debian.org.
It already says "debtags" twice in the paragraph that you pasted, I
would think that it's clear enough.
Presumably, since it mentions "tags and debtags", they were two
different kinds of tags in the past -- I don't remember them, since I
rarely use them or even have them installed.
But in general, tag==debtag and the others are user-tags (and always
named in that way), I don't think that there's ambiguity.
Note to maintainers: the requests in the other messages have been cloned
to other bug reports.
Cheers.
