 Posted: Fri May 02, 2003 2:20 pm Post subject: How about an alphabetical list of apps? |
 |
|
Sometimes I read about an application and want to find it in the Online Package Database, only I don't know what package group its in. Its not always clear, and in the case of some applications, could easily fit in several, so I end up finding it by trial and error. How about another page which lists everything alphabetically? Seems like something that could be autogenerated.

Thanks. That's a neat little script.
But what if I just want to look at the page for it and read about it first?

| could call the script and point it into a file...like script.sh > myfile and then you could just do a less myfile...hmmm...perhaps can do that in the script. |

But that doesn't solve the problem of retaining the links to the descriptions (home page of the app/maintainer). Seems like it would take a more complicated script to extract those as well. Wouldn't it be more useful to have this index available on the website (server side) so everyone can access it?
