Might do. I ran both, but eix-diff says
void load_db(const char*, DBHeader*, PackageTree*, PortageSettings*): Can't
open the database file '/var/cache/eix.previous' for reading (mode = 'rb')
which I take as a particularly lazy way of telling me the cache hasn't
been created or is elsewhere. I'll investigate in a bit -- a quick
--help from both programs doesn't show anything obvious. Probably
something easy.
Thanks.
