I was thinking maybe making the list pkgs command do intelligent things with the -d levels - so that if you do a -d 2 its the normal columned output, but -d 1 is csv'd list, that way its more parseable. and -d1 just lists package names, not ver-release stuff. anyone else think andrew's idea is worth any additional discussion? Its about 10, maybe 15 lines of code, I think. :) -sv --=-uNXEr7nkM/zhspx1zUmQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA9bFD61Aj3x2mIbMcRAiimAJ4oC/OzBAY+I1UMjL18Tp/oOjCGyACffIhO isSvIzxqJT9C4j53+ZuFa8w= =SjnA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-uNXEr7nkM/zhspx1zUmQ--
