Thanks Peter,
it would be fine to have special search engine on gentoo.org
for this purpose ;-)
noro
what would it search?
ebuild of course :-)
i.e. if u know the name of desired command (like xyz), doesn't have it
installed on system and need to know which ebuild u have to emerge ...
sometimes the same command can be installed via two different ebuilds,
but guessing their names is not easy every times.
noro
Actually, names of files aren't contained in the ebuilds - they're
created by the compilation process. Portage keeps track of what files
are created during the merge for uninstallation later, but it doesn't
know beforehand what the files will be. The only way to find out what
files will be installed by a given package is to open up its source
tarball(s) and look in the makefiles for 'ld' or 'libtool' calls.
