About pkg_info and pkg_add


Hi folks,

OBSD 4.0 amd64

$ cat ~/.profile
Code:
# $OpenBSD: dot.profile,v 1.4 2005/02/16 06:56:57 matthieu Exp $
#
# sh/ksh initialization

PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/games:.
export CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.de.openbsd.org:/cvs

# export PATH HOME TERM

export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64
# pkg_info cdrtools
Code:
Error from ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/:
550 cdrtools.tgz: No such file or directory
# pkg_info cdrtools*
Code:
Error from ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/:
local: cdrtools-2.01.tgz remote: cdrtools-2.01.tgz
# pkg_info cdrtools-2.01.tgz
Code:
Information for cdrtools-2.01.tgz

Comment:
ISO 9660 filesystem and CD creation tools

Description:
The cdrtools software includes programs to create and/or extract
ISO 9660 filesystems, verify their integrity, and write them to
disc.

This package contains the following software:
  cdda2wav (digital CD audio extraction program)
  cdrecord (CD recording program)
  devdump (dump a device or file in hex)
  isodebug (analyze or list an ISO-9660 image)
  isodump (analyze or list an ISO-9660 image)
  isoinfo (analyze or list an ISO-9660 image)
  isovrfy (verify an ISO-9660 image)
  mkisofs (ISO-9660 filesystem image creator)
  readcd (read data CDs, write to DVD-RAM and copy
    Solaris boot CDs)

Maintainer: Jacob Meuser <jakemsr@jakemsr.com>

WWW: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/cdrecord.html
Why I must provide the full package name including version before I can find it.

Same as "pkg_add".

Please advise. TIA


B.R.

Because the "package name" includes stem-version[-flavors], stem is essentially the name and [-flavors] is optional.

packages-specs - binary package names specifications
