Do we still need something like this?

I'm not entirely sure if I want to modify 'apk search' like that. But I'm not really sure how it should be done either.

I need some way to find out what apk fetch will do.

Currently I do:

get_apk         = $(addsuffix .apk,$(shell apk fetch --simulate $(APK_OPTS) $(1) 2>&1 | sed 's:^Downloading :$(ISO_PKGDIR)/:'))

And this:

        @for i in `apk fetch $(APK_OPTS) --simulate -R $(INITFS_PKGS) 2>&1\
                        | sed 's:^Downloading ::; s:-[0-9].*::' | sort | uniq`; do \
                apk fetch $(APK_OPTS) --stdout $$i \
                        | tar -C $(INITFS_DIR) -zx || exit 1; \
        done

There's a similar issue with apk info.

Background: I've just recently updated php to 5.3.5-r2, installed the local APKs, and submitted the APKBUILD changes (so -r2 is not yet available on the repositories).
