5 > earch looks like good candidate for gentoolkit

7 That's what I thought, too. I did discover there's a gentoolkit-dev
8 package the other day, the parallel to gentoolkit but for scripts
9 primarily of use to devs. Maybe earch is in it? In any case, it /is/ a
10 handy script. There are a number of optional parameters that do things
11 like show masking and the reasons thereof, etc, tho I don't use them all
12 that often. Still handy when I do, however.

14 I have the home page around here somewhere...

16 Ah... yes... robbat2's work. Seems like I can update, too, as I have
17 earch-0.9 and the newest is 0.9.2, as of May 29, 2006. (I think it was
18 0.7 or earlier when I first grabbed it. As I said, he posted it to the
19 dev list.)

23 Note that at one point it broke, against ~arch portage. It /may/ have
24 been due to FEATURES=-metadata-transfer, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it's
25 working again here now.
