This would require a comple list of all available packages. I guess a complete portage tree is out of the question for embedded. What I did with my apk (yes, i'd like to use embedded emerge if it was possible) was I added a Packages.sha1.gz file together with the binary packages. If there is a list containing all the packages, an index, it would be possible do something like: wget -O - $PACKAGE_PATH/Packagelist | grep "$PACKAGE-[0-9]*" Both the wget and grep code is included in busybox but I don't know if there is any gentoo policy saying that there should be included a file list in the binary repository. -- Natanael Copa -- [email protected] mailing list
