That's just false (not that emerge --search not worth using part, but |
| 17 |
the part before that). |

app-i18n/gcin is provided by the gentoo-taiwan overlay: |

The right answer, should you have looked several more lines |
| 67 |
down the man page, is that: |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
= If you want to include the category into the |
| 70 |
= search string, prepend an @: emerge --search "%@^dev-java.*jdk". |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
So |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
~ $ emerge --search "@app-i18n/gcin" |
| 75 |
Searching... |
