Hello,

I'd like the packages to be displayed sorted by status and then by
priority. Hitting `G' and then changing the given

task,status,section(subdir,passthrough),section(to pdir)

to

task,status,priority,section(subdir,passthrough),s ection(topdir)

seems to do what I want. But I'd like this to be the default package
grouping mechanism and not to enter it every time I use aptitude. Thus
I tried setting

Aptitude::UI:efault-Grouping
{ "task,status,section(subdir,passthrough),section(t opdir)"; };

in ~/.aptitude/config, but this doesn't seem to work: All files are
displayed at once, apparently sorted alphabetically, and hitting `G'
shows an empty grouping order.

What am I missing?

And, BTW, according to the documentation, the default for
Aptitude::UI:efault-Grouping is

filter(missing),status,section(subdir,passthrough) ,section(topdir)

but this is not what an initial `G' shows (see above, `filter(missing)'
vs `task'). Any hints?


TIA, Jukka

You need to do this:

Aptitude::UI:efault-Grouping
"task,status,section(subdir,passthrough),section(t opdir)";

Curly braces introduce a new sub-group, so the config file fragment
you wrote is the same as this:

Aptitude::UI:efault-Grouping "";
Aptitude::UI:efault-Grouping:: "task,status,section(subdir,passthrough),section(t opdir)";

You need to file a bug saying that the documentation didn't change
the last time that the default did.

Thanks, I missunderstood the syntax.

I'll do this as soon as reportbug is installed...
