Hi,
I'm mainly making some notes of some things that are inconsistent at
present. These are:
1. apk info -W shows an english message:
petrie:/$ apk info -W /bin/busybox
/bin/busybox is owned by busybox-1.17.4-r1
Really, this should probably work more like this:
petrie:/$ apk info -W /bin/busybox
/bin/busybox: busybox-1.17.4-r1
That behaviour is consistent with the rest of APK's output.
2. apk search doesn't show descriptions unless you use -v:
petrie:~$ apk search *busybox*
busybox-1.17.4-r1
busybox-static-1.17.4-r1
busybox-initscripts-2.0-r14
If you're a user, this is unintuitive. The apk search -v output is
more helpful, when you consider that someone is probably going to use
apk search to find what packages to install most of the time.
petrie:~$ apk search -v *busybox*
busybox-1.17.4-r1 - Size optimized toolbox of many common UNIX utilities
busybox-static-1.17.4-r1 - Size optimized toolbox of many common UNIX
utilities
busybox-initscripts-2.0-r14 - Init scripts for busybox daemons
This shows what the package *does* which is useful.
