Howdy,
It's cold so I booted up my old rig, and NAS box, and was updating the
OS for a little extra heat. I was looking at the output of eix-diff
that is at the end of eix-sync. I'm used to seeing U, N and such but
noticed something new today. Some, llvm for example, has a "*"
included. Like this:
[*U] >> llvm-core/clang (19.1.4(19/19.1)): C language family frontend
for LLVM
[*U] >> llvm-core/clang-common (19.1.4): Common files shared between
multiple slots of clang
[*U] >> llvm-core/clang-runtime (19.1.4(19)): Meta-ebuild for clang
runtime libraries
[*U] >> llvm-core/clang-toolchain-symlinks (19(19)): Symlinks to use
Clang on GCC-free system
[*N] >> llvm-core/libclc (19.1.4): OpenCL C library
[*U] >> llvm-core/lld (19.1.4(19/19.1)): The LLVM linker (link editor)
[*U] >> llvm-core/lld-toolchain-symlinks (19(19)): Symlinks to use LLD

[*N] >> llvm-core/lldb (19.1.4(0/19.1)): The LLVM debugger
[*U] >> llvm-core/llvm (19.1.4(19/19.1)): Low Level Virtual Machine

multiple slots of LLVM
[*U] >> llvm-core/llvm-toolchain-symlinks (19(19)): Symlinks to use
LLVM on binutils-free system
[*U] >> llvm-core/llvmgold (19): LLVMgold plugin symlink for autoloading
[*U] >> llvm-runtimes/compiler-rt (19.1.4(19)): Compiler runtime
library for clang (built-in part)
[*U] >> llvm-runtimes/compiler-rt-sanitizers (19.1.4(19)): Compiler
runtime libraries for clang (sanitizers & xray)
[*N] >> llvm-runtimes/libcxx (19.1.4): New implementation of the C++
standard library, targeting C++11
[*N] >> llvm-runtimes/libcxxabi (19.1.4): Low level support for a
standard C++ library
[*N] >> llvm-runtimes/libunwind (19.1.4): C++ runtime stack unwinder
from LLVM
I googled, checked the Gentoo wiki and even looked up some pages about
diff itself, thinking it would spit out the same type of stuff and
explain what that means. I found explanations of some output stuff but
nothing about the "*" bit.
Anyone know what that is about? What does the "*" mean? Is it unique
to Gentoo?
Thanks.

Almost certain this is because the package moved to a new category.

Yes, the fine manual says so, check section "eix-diff":
[*N] >> foo/bar (1.0): description of foo/bar
The package foo/bar has freshly appeared in the tree. Moreover,
it has a version (1.0) which could
be installed without any sort of unmasking/keywording.

Manual? The only thing I could find was the help output, which was of
no help for this. It claims it has no man page and I couldn't find one
online, unless my search terms are bad again. o_O
I recall seeing some moves, saw it on -dev mailing list. I just didn't
know eix-diff showed the change.
Thanks. Now I know, if only I can remember it. :/

Check 'man eix' and search for eix-diff
