[Lubuntu-desktop] How LSC works?
One thing I need often is the presence of Lame on my system. So, i go to LSC to install lame but can't see it!! I go to USC to verify and i come to realize that the same search parameter returns different things... (just try lame in LSC and USC to see it ;) I'm guessing that this happens with other searches too. My point is: LSC should show the same apps that USC with the same search parameters, right? -- jpxsat ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

With the same search parameters they should show the same results but, they don't appear to have the same parameters. They appear to be searching on different fields. The search does seem a bit bizarre. I've just tried both Lubuntu and lubuntu and it finds nothing. -- Yorvyk ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

They appear to be searching on different fields. The search does seem a bit bizarre. I've just tried both Lubuntu and lubuntu and it finds nothing. Comparing how LSC does its searches, and how apt-cache search does them, should help unravel that issue. As a quick test of searching package names in Python: cat aptsearch.py EOF #!/usr/bin/python import sys, re, apt_pkg apt_pkg.init() cache = apt_pkg.Cache() for pkg in cache.packages: if re.search(sys.argv[1], pkg.name, re.IGNORECASE): print , pkg.name EOF chmod +x aptsearch.py ./aptsearch.py lubuntu # search for packages with lubuntu in their names is all it takes to demo that basic package name searches in Python work fine. I would hope that LSC actually searches on package descriptions as well as package names, of course, but I'll leave doing that as an exercise for the reader :) Personally, I'll stick to using apt-cache and apt-get, since they work, in all varieties of Debian and Ubuntu... so why should I learn yet another GUI way to do what those commands already do :) Jonathan ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
