I like the old 'etcat'. You can still find it on your system at |
| 33 |
/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-<version>/deprecated/etcat/etcat. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I use 'etcat versions <pkg>' all the time. The number in parentheses is |
| 36 |
the slot that package is in. E.G. for php: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
[ Results for search key : php ] |
| 39 |
[ Candidate applications found : 13 ] |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Only printing found installed programs. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
* dev-lang/php : |
| 44 |
[ ~ ] 4.3.11-r4 (4) |
| 45 |
[ ~ ] 4.4.0-r4 (4) |
| 46 |
[ I] 4.4.1-r2 (4) |
| 47 |
[M~ ] 5.0.4-r4 (5) |
| 48 |
[M~ ] 5.0.5-r4 (5) |
| 49 |
* dev-php/php : |
| 50 |
[ ] 4.3.11 (0) |
| 51 |
[ ] 4.3.11-r1 (0) |
| 52 |
[ ] 4.3.11-r3 (0) |
| 53 |
[ ] 4.3.11-r4 (0) |
| 54 |
[ ] 4.4.0 (0) |
| 55 |
[ ] 4.4.0-r1 (0) |
| 56 |
[ ] 4.4.0-r3 (0) |
| 57 |
[ ] 4.4.0-r4 (0) |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
This shows that I have ver 4.4.1-r2 installed on my system in slot 4. |
| 60 |

| 61 |
I haven't found an equivalent w/ equery. I create a symbolic link from |
| 62 |
the etcat location above to /usr/local/bin. However, everytime |
| 63 |
gentoolkit is updated, I have to update the link. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Cheers, |
