Huh, I've been using gentoo for years and never knew about the "q's", |
| 24 |
definitely learned something new today! But I just wanted to make a note |
| 25 |
that a few of these programs are part of the gentoolkit package. Querying |
| 26 |
portage for revdep, equery, etc won't give you the package it belongs to. |
