Package: feta Version: 1.4.12 Severity: wishlist
Feta doesn't have an equivelent operation to "apt-get --names-only search". Specifically this is frustrating if you are looking for a package which contains something in it's name but don't want the results from a full search. For example: # feta search rsh backuppc - high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing up PCs c2hs - C->Haskell Interface Generator chkrootkit - Checks for signs of rootkits on the local system clusterssh - administer multiple ssh or rsh shells simultaneously ... many more results (including xrsh) ... # feta names rsh rsh-client rsh-redone-client rsh-redone-server rsh-server This is what I think should work, but it only matches things which begin with rsh. This is the behavior which I think is most helpful and is not available in feta: # apt-cache --names-only search rsh cook-rsh - Remote execution scripts for cook heimdal-clients - Clients for Heimdal Kerberos heimdal-servers - Servers for Heimdal Kerberos kerberos4kth-clients - Clients for Kerberos4 From KTH kerberos4kth-servers - Servers for Kerberos4 From KTH krb5-rsh-server - Secure replacements for rshd and rlogind using MIT Kerberos powershell - powerful terminal emulator for GNOME rsh-client - rsh clients. rsh-redone-client - Reimplementation of rsh and rlogin rsh-redone-server - Reimplementation of rshd and rlogind rsh-server - rsh servers. ssh - Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement (OpenSSH) ssh-krb5 - Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp replacement (OpenSSH with Kerberos)p wondershaper - Easy to use traffic shaping script xrsh - remote execution of XWindow programs Personally I think it would be great if the "feta names" feature changed from using "apt-cache pkgnames rsh" to using "apt-cache --names-only search rsh", but I'm sure that is a matter of preference.
