1 Hi,
2
3 there are two utilities on (my) Gentoo system and I wonder
4 when to prefer which one.
5
6 On one hand there is 'equery' with many commands.
7 On the other hand there the 'q-tools' i.e. a lot of
8 symlinks to /usr/bin/q
9 like
10 qfile
11 qdepends
12 quse
13 and so on.
14
15 Often they offer similar tasks.
16 I wonder when to use which one.
17 Which is faster, more reliable, ...
18
19 Many thanks for sharing your experience,
20 Helmut.
