Announcing pkg_search

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hi guys,

I am not really sure if this is the appropriate list ... if its not,  
please redirect me to the right one.

I wrote a small script called pkg_search to help me searching my local  
ports tree for a port/package without using "make search name=" or  
something like freshports.org.  Its not a big deal, but it eases my  
daily pkg_add life a bit :)

Example:

% pkg_search fvwm2
fvwm2-i18n-imlib-2.4.20_1       Popular virtual window manager for X
% pkg_search -i fvwm2
Name    : fvwm2-i18n-imlib-2.4.20_1-50
Dir     : /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2-i18n
Desc    : Popular virtual window manager for X
URL     : http://www.fvwm.org/
Deps    : compositeproto-0.4
[...]

You can find it and a man page here:

BTW:  It works under DragonFly as well.  {Net,Open}BSD might work as  
well (with possible adoption), but I don't have machines here to test.

Regards,

	Matthias
