Portage currently does not store any information about where a package was |
| 10 |
installed from. Therefore the best you can do is manually inspect the output |
| 11 |
of `eix --installed-overlay`. It will show all packages where the version you |
| 12 |
have installed exists in any overlay (and you can see if they exist in the |
| 13 |
tree too). That, however, only implies that they might have been installed |
| 14 |
from that overlay.. |

It does require app-portage/eix-0.8.x. Also if you use update-eix-remote you |
| 17 |
better (re)move the eix database (/var/cache/eix) and regenerate the database |
| 18 |
with `update-eix` first or you will get a lot of false positives. IOW you |
| 19 |
need the eix database to only contain installed overlays. |
