a question regarding post-install messages ..
Hi all !
Sometimes when installing packages I overlook post-install messages of importance .. is there a way to show them back by -for instance- pkg_name or something ? Thanks. |

Thank you jggimi !! Thank you Savior !!
How much do I owe you ?? :-) |

If you're installing a lot of packages, possibly in part as a result of recursive installs of dependencies, you may not know what all packages have been installed ... as they fly by. You could figure it out "by hand" but that could be tedious. In this kind of situation I like to do the installation inside of a script(1) session. That makes it easy to go back and look at everything that happened, including any messages displayed.

script(1) is a good friend. pkg_info(1) can be too. |

LeFrettchen , it's not about listing *installed* packages but *the_just_recently_installed* ones as dependencies to the package that was targeted with pkg_add ..
so Idop is RIGHT :-) and script helps here in case of errors or something not only because one needs to know a package dependencies (ocicat already made it clear how to) |

@ LeFrettchen : Thanks for your input. It may be a bit confusing because, due to the changing direction of discussion in this thread, the issue on this point was split over to a new thread here. Hopefully that will clarify much.
