Hi all,
one thing i miss from my previous debian system was the long
description that one can acces with 'apt-cache show <package>'.
<snip>
The questions would be:
- why gentoo has decided that one line description is enough?
- it's possible to implement long descriptions? (i mean in the
political decision to do so, i know is technically viable with some
LONG_DESCRIPTION item in ebuilds)
Just saw this on the Wiki (Portage utilities not in Portage), and
thought it might be something for you:
tsportageview (forums) (sample-html-output) (download)
* Show descriptions of packages in a given portage category(-ies).
It may use <longdescription> from metadata.xml files. The output can be
coloured text (requires color package) or html with links towards
package homepages.

This is almost exactly what i'been looking for (well not so much
"looking" since i don't find it by myself ;)
Thank you for being on_topic.
To point is should this be included in emerge or not ?
