Often when I see something like dev-libs/libassuan, I say, "what the heck is |
| 2 |
that"? |

So I look at the ebuild file... |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
msoulier@anton:~$ grep DESCRIPTION |
| 7 |
/usr/portage/dev-libs/libassuan/libassuan-1.0 |
| 8 |
.5.ebuild |
| 9 |
DESCRIPTION="Standalone IPC library used by gpg, gpgme and newpg" |
| 10 |
|

Great, that helps. Still, I wouldn't think that grep would be the best say, so |
| 12 |
I looked in the emerge manpage and found --info, but that tells me everything |
| 13 |
*except* the DESCRIPTION string. :) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
equery doesn't seem to dump this either.. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So, is grep the best approach to answer, "what the heck is that?" :) |
