New 'pkg sets' ALIAS Proposal

[vermaden]

Hi.

After messing a little with PKGBASE this one could be handy:

root@pkgbase:~ # grep -e '^ALIAS' -e sets -e '^}'
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf
ALIAS {
    sets = "info -d -C -x '^FreeBSD-set-'";
}

root@pkgbase:~ # pkg sets | head 
FreeBSD-set-base-15.0.b1.20251011075131:
        FreeBSD-set-optional-15.0.b1.20251011075131
        FreeBSD-set-minimal-15.0.b1.20251011075131
        FreeBSD-set-devel-15.0.b1.20251011075131
FreeBSD-set-devel-15.0.b1.20251011075131:
        FreeBSD-zfs-dev-15.0.b1.20251011075131
        FreeBSD-xz-dev-15.0.b1.20251011075131
        FreeBSD-utilities-dev-15.0.b1.20251011075131
        FreeBSD-unbound-dev-15.0.b1.20251011075131
        FreeBSD-ufs-dev-15.0.b1.20251011075131

Nice.

I want to see the contents of just one meta package.

I forgot that it's an alias, I experimented:

pkg sets FreeBSD-set-minimal

Wrong.

Then:

root@clean:~ # pkg sets | grep FreeBSD-set-minimal
        FreeBSD-set-minimal-15.0.b1.20251015211959
        FreeBSD-set-minimal-dbg-15.0.b1.20251012072228
FreeBSD-set-minimal-15.0.b1.20251015211959:
FreeBSD-set-minimal-dbg-15.0.b1.20251012072228:
        FreeBSD-set-minimal-15.0.b1.20251015211959
root@clean:~ # 

Still wrong.

Eventually I remembered:

pkg info -d FreeBSD-set-minimal | sort -f | grep -v FreeBSD-set-minimal

root@clean:~ # pkg info -d FreeBSD-set-minimal | sort -f | grep -v FreeBSD-set-minimal

That is, a package set:

• not to be confused with pkg-set(8) pkg set
• using pkg-info(8).

pkg query %do FreeBSD-set-minimal

pkg query %dn-%dv FreeBSD-set-minimal
