For the searching, I use esearch. For the version listing, earch does a |
| 14 |
bit better as it lists the stable and ~arch versions /per/ /arch/, not |
| 15 |
just on the current arch. Of course, as I said, that's more a developer |
| 16 |
feature. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I also mentioned that it had some other options, without listing them. |
| 19 |
Here's the --help output (-m is useful here, if it were primarily user |
| 20 |
oriented -f would be the default so that's useful, and -v, most of the |
| 21 |
others are more developer oriented). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
~$earch --help |
| 24 |
Gentoo last arch keyword checking tool, with SLOT and masking support |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Usage: |
| 27 |
earch [opts] [CP] |
| 28 |
If CP is omitted, the current directory is used. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Options: |
| 31 |
-c|--category |
| 32 |
Include category in output. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
-f|--follow-etc-portage |
| 35 |
By default, earch acts like repoman and ignores /etc/portage. |
| 36 |
This option disables that behavior. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
-h|--help |
| 39 |
This help page. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
-H|--hide-masked |
| 42 |
Exclude all masked versions from output. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
-i|--ignore-redundant |
| 45 |
Exclude redudant versions from keyword output. |
| 46 |
Redundant versions are those output by -r. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
-m|--masking-reason |
| 49 |
For all masked versions, print masking reason. |
| 50 |
Disables other output. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
-o|--one-slot |
| 53 |
Consider SLOT values as if they were all equal. |
| 54 |
This effectively disables SLOTs from consideration. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
-r|--remove-pkgs |
| 57 |
Show all redundant versions to clean from the tree. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
-s|--slot <SLOT,...> |
| 60 |
SLOT values to provide output for, seperated by commas. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
-v|--version |
| 63 |
earch version output. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Explaination of output: |
| 66 |
# earch [$CATEGORY/$PN] |
| 67 |
$PF[$SLOT]: $KEYWORDS |
| 68 |
If a specific version is masked, a (M) will preceed the keywords. |
