Subject: [gentoo-user] Finding packages which provide a file

1 Hello.
2
3 From time to time, I'm looking for a *not* installed package, which
4 might provide a certain file. Say, I'd like to know, which packages
5 could provide "/etc/foo/bar", how would I do that? Are there any sites
6 out there, which provide a "database", which "connect" installed file
7 to package? Sort of like a compilation of /var/db/pkg/*/*/CONTENTS?

9 Thanks,
