Ticket #29435 (new enhancement)

Opened 2 years ago

Last modified 2 years ago

When port not found, help user find port they wanted

Reported by: rogerdpack@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone: MacPorts Future
Component: base Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port:

Description (last modified by ryandesign@…) (diff)

As suggested on the ML, reposting here:

$ sudo port install ack
Error: Port ack not found

Obviously, what I meant was

$ port install p5-app-ack

so first pass might be to display "use the search command" when an install fails, or auto-search for them.

Cheers!
