11 This is true. But you should mention, that 'qpkg' is deprecated
12 and 'equery' should be used:
13
14 ,-----[qpkg --help]
15 | [...]
16 | NOTICE: This tool will be phased out at some point in the
17 | future, please use equery instead.
18 | Bugs are still fixed but new features won't be added.
19 | [...]
20 `-----
21
22 There are still missing features of qpgk in equery, though.
23
24 The point is, that 'qpkg' won't be/isn't in your $PATH anymore.
25 In the latest stable release of gentoolkit (which is 0.2.0-r2 on
26 my system) it is installed in '/usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin/' and from
27 0.2.1 on (these are testing atm) it will be found in
28 '/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-${VERSION}/deprecated/qpkg/'
29
30 Further, if you have 'portage-utils' installed, you have a
31 executable called 'qpkg' which does something completely
32 different. But then you can take 'qlist' for exactly the above:
33
34 % qlist -I | grep sys-kernel
35
36 Or you can emerge eix and take eix for it. Or ...
37
38 So long,

42 Next Friday will not be your lucky day. As a matter of fact, you don't
43 have a lucky day this year.
