<br>S**t, look at this. I'm using gmail and not top posting.<br><br>Just how stupid are you that you can't move the cursor to the bottom<br>of the message?<br><br>&gt;
Also if you are looking for a lazy man's way of getting a package
description try `emerge &gt; -s packagename` and it prints out a lot of
information as well as a short description of the &gt; package. I have
never seen a long description such as those used to build Debian<br>&gt; packages anywhere in portage and don't really think it would be useful anyhow. So try<br>&gt; emerge -s and if you need more info go to the packae's website. That would be my
<br>&gt; advice. Oh, and emerge -s works off the metadata so you dint need an Internet<br>&gt; connection.<br><br>How completely pointless. The OP knows about emerge -s and he knows he<br>can look at the package's website.
<br><br>Even worse, you're wrong. emerge -s doesn't look in metadata.xml, it<br>gets the information from the ebuild.<br><br>Dave<br><br>--<br><a href="mailto:gentoo-user@g.o">gentoo-user@g.o</a> mailing list
