Description Bill Sommerfeld 2007-11-02 12:14:13 UTC

there should be a documented easy-to-type "pkg_fmri_pattern" that matches all
packages installed on a system, so that commands like:

pkg list -t file -o <...> all | grep ...

can be used to meaningfully look at all files managed by pkg

Comment 1 Stephen Hahn 2007-11-06 13:30:07 UTC

This seems pretty straightforward, although I'll probably use -a, just as with
the status subcommand, rather than a special pattern.

Comment 2 Rich Lowe 2007-11-06 14:19:06 UTC

-a should be "all that we know about" v. "All that's on the system".  

Behaviour consistent with status would bet that with no arguments, it lists
everything it knows about.

I have part of a patch implementing the latter (and similar for 'pkg info').

Comment 3 Stephen Hahn 2007-11-08 15:51:53 UTC

On-alias discussion suggests that "pkg list" and "pkg info" without arguments
should display their output for all installed packages.

Comment 4 Stephen Hahn 2008-01-16 17:08:52 UTC

Yep.
