13 I was discussing this with one of the devs in the company this
14 morning, and we both want to know how to determine which
15 ebuild(s) will install a certain binary/lib that isn;t
16 installed yet. Is there an app that does this?
17
18 As a very simplistic example, I want 'equery', there's no ebuild
19 called 'equery' cause it comes from gentoolkit. If I didn't
20 already know that, how could I find it out?
21
22 We had a quick look this morning and it seems like to do it we
23 might have to extend something in the portage tree, perhaps a
24 new xml tag in the metadata file that the maintainer would have
25 to keep current
