Hi. You could try emerging 'app-portage/esearch' and the run esync which runs an emerge --sync and then eupdatedb (creates an index of your local portage tree.) # emerge -av app-portage/esearch # eupdatedb #(run once the create the index) put "esync -n -s" in crontab or whatever. The output will show new packages, updated packages. You can use grep or something similar to filter the output to match your wanted packages. btw. esearch is pretty fast. =) ## regular search with emerge ha henrik # time emerge -S browser Searching...
