[Aptitude-devel] Bug#665824: Bug#665824: possibility for the user to mark installed packages with some kind of text

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Control: unmerge -1
Control: retitle -1 command to list active user tags (show-user-tags?)

Unmerging since this is quite different from the other merged commands,
and not related to curses at all.

This has been fixed and will be present in the next release, see:

>- get a command to list active user tags, such as :
>$ aptitude show-user-tags
>or :
>$ aptitude show user-tag

I am working on this.


>- get a command to search packages and see their tags :
>$ aptitude search em
>i      emacs           test,foo
>i      emfoo           bar
>i      barem           other-tag

This has been requested in:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498442

I am not going to clone/merge/etc. reports because it adds no clarity to
this.

At the moment user-tags are shown in the "show" command (command line)
and in the package info screen of the curses interface.


Cheers.
