[Yum-devel] [PATCH] reduce duplicate package output from search

[James Bowes]

Hi all:

'yum search' outputs the package name,version, etc line for each field
that it matches with the search value. This always bugged me; you have
to wade through duplicate data to find what you want.

The attached patch only outputs the package name etc line once per
matched package.

Before:

$ PYTHONPATH=. sudo python yummain.py search zsh -d1 | wc -l
12
$ PYTHONPATH=. sudo python yummain.py search git -d1 | wc -l
130

After:

$ PYTHONPATH=. sudo python yummain.py search zsh -d1 | wc -l
6
$ PYTHONPATH=. sudo python yummain.py search git -d1 | wc -l
88

Oddly enough, it seems like the search and related display code is
almost designed with this in mind. Am I covering something that has
already been discussed?
