Where are these trick tools found? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Maybe I'm way out of date but here is what I'd use: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
First (equery is part of app-portage/gentoolkit) |
| 9 |
(Go thru the man page of course) |
| 10 |
It has many of the same functions you may have used with rpm. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
o See list of all *installed* software. |
| 13 |
equery list |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Browse available software that can be installed. |
| 16 |
(esearch is found in app-portage/esearch) |
| 17 |
esearch REGEX to find stuff on you current portage tree. |
| 18 |
someone already posted the packages page for stuff |
| 19 |
that may not be on your tree yet. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
o See what version of a particular software package is installed. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
equery list <pkg> |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I also use a sometimes quicker way: |
| 26 |
esearch <pkg> or REGEX since esearch output also shows what is |
| 27 |
installed and what is not. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
o See if any new versions of *installed* software are available. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
This would involve synching your portage tree which have much more |
| 32 |
repercussions than you want so use the URL posted for packages. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Here is another you will use a lot. It works like: |
| 35 |
rpm -f /path/file |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
equery belongs /path/file |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
A quick way to find out what package contains a binary tool you |
| 40 |
already have installed. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
(an easy one) |
| 43 |
# equery belongs `which dd` |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/dd in *... ] |
| 46 |
sys-apps/coreutils-5.94-r1 (/usr/bin/dd -> /bin/dd) |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
That gives you the address of the package this tool resides in on the |
| 49 |
portage tree (/usr/portage/ is dropped off the front end) |
| 50 |
