pkg query "%n-%v" and to simply your life you could probably have in your pkg.conf (since pkg 1.2) alias: { whatis : "query '%n-%v'" } $ pkg whatis pkgconf pkgconf-0.9.3 etc. I should create some kind of polling to see what do people expect before fixing a feature request, because sometime onces request defeats what others expects. regards, Bapt
