#51664: Please add pseudo-portnames for some common programs --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: noloader@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by noloader@…): Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
In the case of lcrypto, it does include the words "Bouncy Castle" in the long description, but not in the short description, and `port search` by default only searches the short description. You can get it to search the long description by passing a flag:
{{{ $ port search --long_description bouncy lcrypto @1.28 (java, crypto) Java cryptographic library }}}
but I admit this is not ideal. Maybe we should consider making `port search` also search the long description by default.
Yes, agreed. It would probably be better if things "just worked" out of the box without requiring the user to do extra things. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51664#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
