Well I'm not sure about that mechanism. What I do, when I want new software |
| 8 |
that is already in a ebuild is this: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
look into the dir that contains all software in a given |
| 12 |
category /usr/portage/<category> |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Then use eix to give me a one line description so I can see if |
| 16 |
it's plausible what I'm after. Then just read up on the software |
| 17 |
and decide to install or not. Searching dirs by category |
| 18 |
usually gets me what I want.... |
