Sorry, just as I clicked 'send' it struck me.
of course I need to enclose *.ebuild in quotes.
find . -name '*.ebuild'
works as expected. Please disregard my previos mail.
Kind regards,
Elias

Hi,
using findutils from gentoo-alt (find --version see below),
I encountered this strange behavior:
I was looking for files that had the extension '.ebuild'. So I tried:
$ find . -name *.ebuild
However, only a single result[1] showed up, which was from
the current dir, whereas e.g.
$ find . -name autoconf*.ebuild
brought up six results[2] from subdirs (as expected) and eventually
$ find . -regex .+\.ebuild
brought up all the results[3] I wanted.
So the question is, what's wrong with the first command?
Wasn't I using the correct syntax or is something broken?
