#22782: pseudoport search against the obfuscated email address maintainer field does not work ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: scott@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * milestone: => MacPorts Future Comment: Replying to [comment:1 jmr@…]:
Do we really want to slow down mportsearch even more by making it run the deobfuscation on every maintainer field? Besides, it's arguably working correctly in that it matches against what's actually in the index. I found it nonintuitive that the "maintainer:foo" pseudoport syntax would require the user to use the exact wording in the portfile. What if a user has multiple ports, some of which use the "user@domain" syntax, and others which use the "domain:user" syntax?
You're not matching the address exactly in any case, it's a regex. True... so the user can use 'maintainer:(user@domain|domain:user)' (with the quotes). It still feels like a workaround for a missing behavior.
