13 It probably would be nice if somebody could expand the online package
14 database to include a list of installed files. If you already have a
15 package installed you can always use equery to find out what provided a
16 particular file. However, if you don't have it installed it isn't
17 always obvious where you can get it.

19 I've seen objections raised to the fact that files installed can vary
20 based on USE settings, etc. Perhaps a good starting point would be just
21 to catalog what each package installs on the default x86 profile without
22 any USE changes. Sure, it might only be a 99% solution, but it seems
23 like we're going without simply for the sake of the 1% of packages like
24 VNC which actually build more files if you have a USE flag set...

26 Sorry - not really amd64-specific - more like a GLEP. It just seemed
27 relevant to the discussion here...
