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!
