First off, I second that. Second, here's how you still get where you |
| 10 |
want without looking up the category: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
$ cd gentoo-x86/*/foo |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This of course doesn't work if there are multiple packages with the same |
| 15 |
name in different categories, but if a package maintainer doesn't |
| 16 |
specify the category in such a case, he should be hit anyway ;P |
