I really like verwilst's pkgsearch and adding it to portage would be a nice feature

[Comment 2 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) 2002-01-18 23:07:00 UTC]

verwilst, I need the pkgsearch app in a function I can call (local variables,
etc.)  Then I can add it to emerge.

New pkgsearch for integration into emerge can be found here:

Thanks!

[Comment 4 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) 2002-01-25 23:36:58 UTC]

need a single function I can call.

[Comment 5 Bart Verwilst 2002-01-26 04:40:25 UTC]

You only have to call one function...

<snip>
SearchPackages("qt","","")
#SearchPackages(SearchTerm, NoColor, GetHelp)
### Searchterm is quite obvious :o)
## NoColor = "True" when the --no-color flag is used
## GetHelp = "True" if --help is given..
</snip>
at the bottom of the script... That can be deleted, and you just have to use
SearchPackages( arg1 , arg2, arg3) to use the search function...

This is a convenience feature and would be good to do when we can.

[Comment 7 Geert Bevin 2002-01-28 17:05:18 UTC]

Added to portage 1.8.6-r3
