Packages list or description search?

Postby psychokiller » Thu Mar 19, 2020 4:46 pm

Hi all!
the search field in package list at https://archlinuxarm.org/packages seems to allow search only in the package name field and not in the description.
Does anyone know how to search for keywords in the package description or if a package list in text form is available?
TIA
Paolo.

Stupid me.
Was looking for solution in the wrong place: the web instead of the host I have ALARM installed itself.
Great! Thank you.

Do first to make sure your machine is up to date:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('karog', 'D')o first to make sure your machine is up to date:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy')


Probably not required since new packages coming in are pretty rare.

Packages coming in are pretty rare but updating is good practice.
Thanx to both.
