I'm an former redhatoid user and I'm used with the rpm tool. |
| 25 |
For people like us there is a program called "epm" (emerge epm) |
| 26 |
which behaves like rpm (at least for querying). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
# epm -qa | grep office |
| 29 |
koffice-1.2_beta2 |
| 30 |
# epm -ql koffice-1.2_beta2 |
| 31 |
<... list of files ...> |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Also there is a program called qpkg |
| 34 |
wich has another interface and a more colorful output |
| 35 |
specific to gentoo. It is in the "gentoolkit" package. |
