Hello,

I often go to /usr/portage/<target-dir>
and browse the packages under a given
category; for example  /usr/portage/media-sound

Rather that looking at the packages one at a time,
It be nice to use (perhaps gentoolkit options therein)  syntax/options 
to list all the packages in a (dir) group
and the single line description, it batches?

Thus allowing quickbrowsing by category to decide which packages to install
and test, based on quickly looking at the descriptions.
The output should look something like this?

media-sound/SmarTagger
Description:         Perl script for renaming and tagging mp3s
<snip>
media-sound/zynaddsubf
Description:         ZynAddSubFX is an opensource software synthesizer.


Suggestions and ideas, that already exist, are welcome;
or do I need to hack something (ugly)?


curiously,
James
