[please don't CC me on list postings] As I said in my previous posting, I think it would be better to extend apt-cache's search capability so that it is can do searches on other fields (allowing you to filter out the packages whose Section does not contain nonfree), rather than just having an option to limit the results to free packages. But I'm not the apt-cache author, so it isn't my call. If you can convince the authors to add a --free option, go ahead. -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
