Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I often go to /usr/portage/<target-dir> |
| 4 |
and browse the packages under a given |
| 5 |
category; for example /usr/portage/media-sound |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Rather that looking at the packages one at a time, |
| 8 |
It be nice to use (perhaps gentoolkit options therein) syntax/options |
| 9 |
to list all the packages in a (dir) group |
| 10 |
and the single line description, it batches? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Thus allowing quickbrowsing by category to decide which packages to install |
| 13 |
and test, based on quickly looking at the descriptions. |
| 14 |
The output should look something like this? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
media-sound/SmarTagger |
| 17 |
Description: Perl script for renaming and tagging mp3s |
| 18 |
<snip> |
| 19 |
media-sound/zynaddsubf |
| 20 |
Description: ZynAddSubFX is an opensource software synthesizer. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Suggestions and ideas, that already exist, are welcome; |
| 24 |
or do I need to hack something (ugly)? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
curiously, |
| 28 |
