pc-metapkgmanager

Hello!

Perhaps I am missing something, or there is an unlisted option. pc-metapkgmanager can add and delete and check for updates and update the system meta packages, but there doesn't seem to be a way through it to show what is already installed.

Please add:

  • a way to ask pc-metapkgmanager for a list of pkgs that are installed.
  • an option to use the most recent metapkg location (FTP/HTTP url, or on-disk path) or default to the mirror defined for system source.

Thank you for your efforts!

It is just using pkg_add, so a pkg_info should show you whats installed :)

Aside from that "pc-metapkgmanager list" gives a breakdown of the top-level pkgs, and then you can run "pkg-metapkgmanager status <pkg>" to see if its installed.

I'll look into this, should be doable.

    Thank you for your efforts!
