Yes it would require you to search or have somebody search on a system |
| 13 |
that has the package already installed. I have one of my gentoo sytems |
| 14 |
with tons of stuff install, the rest are fairly targeted as to what's |
| 15 |
installed. |

Which brings me to another point. Maybe the developers could run an equery |
| 18 |
covering thousands of commands (sub-packages if you like) against the |
| 19 |
installation base and parse it out into a human browsable form. |

Debian has such an index, and I often visit to see what software can do what. |

Unless I've missed the wiki, there's really no place at all to read about |
| 23 |
the various pacakges available on Gentoo. |
