[gentoo-user] supported package count comparison
Hi, Can someone refer me to a comparison of the number of packages supported by Debian, Redhat etc. For counting Gentoo packages I did: eix -c | wc -l and got 15849 Also, how can I count the number of stable packages in Gentoo? Regards, Kfir

Read man eix, particularly the --stable option. -- Neil Bothwick Dolly Parton-- silicone based life signature.asc Description: PGP signature

From eix(1): -*, --pure-packages (toggle) (do not forget quoting if you use the short form from within a shell.) Omit printing of additional information (overlay names, number of found packages) after the packages. This might be useful for some shell scripts pars‐ ing the output [...] Regards, Kfir HTH -- Marc Joliet signature.asc Description: PGP signature
