The problem is the enormous amount of ebuilds we offer. The amount of ebuilds |
| 10 |
is currently: 8553 and the amount of files is: 50435. |

Try the following script to make searching faster: |
| 13 |
find /usr/portage/ -name "*.ebuild" -exec grep -H DESCRIPTION {} \; \ |
| 14 |
|awk -F: '{ sub("(/usr/portage/[^/]*/)","",$1); sub("/.*","",$1); \ |
| 15 |
printf("%-20s:%s\n", $1, $2) }'|sort |uniq >~/descriptions |
| 16 |

This will make a nice file with all descriptions for all packages, filtered |
| 18 |
for duplicates. Just use grep on this file instead of emerge -S and you can |
| 19 |
find the package. If you put the creation of this file in crontab, you have |
| 20 |
yourself a fast and flexible solution, with only 4726 lines of descriptions. |
