Cool. Since some packages have multiple ebuilds, to get an approximate number of unique packages in portage, I did something like this $ find /usr/portage | grep 'metadata\.xml' | wc -l 12618 Still an excellent number...and this is only for the official tree! -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
