If you don't want the versions, as Duncan wrote, I would suggest that |
| 2 |
you use eix. eix -I will provide a pretty-printed list of all the |
| 3 |
packages installed on your system. Read its man page to find out how to |
| 4 |
do custom formatting. You can have it print just the package name, the |
| 5 |
category and package names, versions, use flags, etc. Once you get a |
| 6 |
feel for its syntax, you shouldn't have any trouble getting the |
| 7 |
information you need. |

|
| 9 |
Be careful, though, to run update-eix before doing anything because eix |
| 10 |
uses an index database, not the actual portage tree or data. If you |
| 11 |
make any changes to your system, eix will not know it until you run |
| 12 |
update-eix. |
