eix package epm -ql Where are these trick tools found? Maybe I'm way out of date but here is what I'd use: First (equery is part of app-portage/gentoolkit) (Go thru the man page of course) It has many of the same functions you may have used with rpm. o See list of all *installed* software. equery list Browse available software that can be installed. (esearch is found in app-portage/esearch) esearch REGEX to find stuff on you current portage tree. someone already posted the packages page for stuff that may not be on your tree yet. o See what version of a particular software package is installed. equery list pkg I also use a sometimes quicker way: esearch pkg or REGEX since esearch output also shows what is installed and what is not. o See if any new versions of *installed* software are available. This would involve synching your portage tree which have much more repercussions than you want so use the URL posted for packages. Here is another you will use a lot. It works like: rpm -f /path/file equery belongs /path/file A quick way to find out what package contains a binary tool you already have installed. (an easy one) # equery belongs `which dd` [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/dd in *... ] sys-apps/coreutils-5.94-r1 (/usr/bin/dd - /bin/dd) That gives you the address of the package this tool resides in on the portage tree (/usr/portage/ is dropped off the front end) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If it isn't in the package name that won't find it. I made a bad assumption that since I'd never heard of these tools they were not in package names. And instead inside some package whose name didn't suggest it. In that case you have to ask or go to the packages URL I guess. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
