Summary: | 0002287: naming inconsistency, stop guessing package names (eg: OpenSSL) | |||||||||
Description: |
It would be a BIG useability improvement if pkg-add accepted program name, package name, and name from \'pkg-get -a\' (typically, binary name) without distinction. Incidentally, couldn\'t we enforce better consistency? for example, given: ----------------------- application CSWossl openssl - The Open Source toolkit for SSL and TLS all these 3 would work: ----------------------- pkg-add -i openssl pkg-add -i ossl pkg-add -i CSWossl |

Steps To Reproduce: | ||||||||||
Additional Information: |
Implementation of automagic pkg name resolution is trivial: - first try as specified - else, if name matches a name from `pkg-get -a | awk \'{print $1}\'` , use corresponding package - else, if package given as CSWxyzt, strip leading 3 chars \'CSW\' and re-try just \'xyzt\' When matching names, try case INsensitive matches. If more than one name matches: - in interactive, ask which one - with -f, exit with both/all potential matches printed in pkginfo format Thank you! |
