Re: [gentoo-portage-dev] How to extract the version/revision of an installed package?

[Amit Dor-Shifer]

Great! the usage of -C escaped me, and  I was wondering why I was 
getting bad output...
Thanks,

Given the following:
# qlist -Iv sys-apps/portage
sys-apps/portage-2.1.4.5
How do I safely extract the "2.1.4.5"?

(I don't necessarily need to use qlist. Just want to get the version of 
an installed package within a bash script)

    


qatom $(qlist -ICv sys-apps/portage) | awk '{print $3}'
