Excellent, good spot: especially considering that the option isn't
mentioned anywhere in the man page... I also tried 'equery --help' but
nothing there either. It hadn't occurred to me to just try running the
command with no package argument.
$ equery uses --help
Display USE flags for a given package
Syntax:
uses <local-opts> pkgspec
<local-opts> is either of:
-a, --all - include non-installed packages
On a related issue, etcat has the very useful 'versions' command which
lists all versions of the package in portage along with their
masked/installed status. I can't find an equivalent in equery, but I'm
now starting to wonder if it is there but undocumented. Any ideas? If I
can find something to do that I can stop using etcat completely. :-)
$ equery --help
...
list(l) <local-opts> pkgspec - list all packages matching pkgspec
...
$ equery list --help
List all packages matching a query pattern
Syntax:
list <local-opts> pkgspec
<local-opts> is either of:
-i, --installed - search installed packages (default)
-I, --exclude-installed - do not search installed packages
-p, --portage-tree - also search in portage tree (/usr/portage)
-o, --overlay-tree - also search in overlay tree (/usr/local/portage)
$ equery list -p -o mplayer
