Hallo, Sometimes one wants to read a description for one or more packages. I wrote following script to retrieve that info from the locally installed setup-inis. It's parameters are anchored regexes if the first one is not ``-r'', after which they are plain text: $ cyg-desc '.*ss[hl]' '.*x11.*' or $ cyg-desc -r gtk+ gcc-g++ The script requires /bin/sh, cat, awk, true, false, cygpath, a package- dir left by setup, /etc/setup/last-mirror and /etc/setup/last-cache. I hope this is of use to anybody.
