Often when I see something like dev-libs/libassuan, I say, "what the heck is that"?
So I look at the ebuild file... msoul...@anton:~$ grep DESCRIPTION /usr/portage/dev-libs/libassuan/libassuan-1.0 .5.ebuild DESCRIPTION="Standalone IPC library used by gpg, gpgme and newpg" Great, that helps. Still, I wouldn't think that grep would be the best say, so I looked in the emerge manpage and found --info, but that tells me everything *except* the DESCRIPTION string. :) equery doesn't seem to dump this either.. So, is grep the best approach to answer, "what the heck is that?" :) Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <[email protected]> "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
