Well, you can always use "make package-name" to get the proper package name, another side is, the specified name can be not available of ftp server if the package wasn't uploaded from pointyhat. -Kirill ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: FreeBSD Ports Search webpage is not usable
Note that some packages might not be available for certain architectures and FreeBSD versions, because the packages are always lagging few days or a week behind the ports tree. Or the package can't be compiled. We can't add it to the official website easily, because we don't have that information available inside the website.

Re: FreeBSD Ports Search webpage is not usable
`cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-2/` works properly but `pkg_add -r openoffice.org` doesn't work. And why don't you include these two lines of shell commands to official site interface? 2007/12/20, Pav Lucistnik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Кутейников Дмитрий píše v čt 20. 12. 2007 v 00:04 +0300: > > Web interface for ports collection is very inconvenient.

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. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
