FWIW, I use esearch (heh, just looked up eix with it). I have it |
| 10 |
embedded in my update script as well, to update its database, and have a |
| 11 |
few front-ends for it (ehome being the most used), which return just the |
| 12 |
specified data. |

So switching to eix if esearch is treecleaned wouldn't be entirely |
| 15 |
painless, but it shouldn't be overly painful, either. |
