1 hi !
2
3 is there some script/whatever in the portage system,
4 to do tedious things like:
5 - lookup to which package a file belongs
6 - remove older versions of packages
7 and the like ?
8
9 imho this should be possible with a program like the proposed
10 "epkg" or be part of the emerge features.
11
12 but as long as the latter is not there...
13 either one of you coded already such a thing, or i'm gonna
14 have a nice hacking afternoon the next few days.
15 (i'm tired of typing "ebuild /var/db/pkg/<ctg>/<pkg>/<ebuild> unmerge" for example)
16
17 thanks and ciao
