Running that periodically should give you what you want. You might even customize it a little more by using a script to watch a particular version. I don't know whether the function has been picked up in a more modern program such as equery or not. I couldn't find it. etcat is still in /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.2/depreciated/etcat/etcat Tony -- Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
