Using it for a year. Or look at the ebuild in question ;) Look at www.gentooexperimental.org for other unoff scripts/tools. HTH. Rumen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Dependency determination
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Is there a way with emerge or equery to determine what other package a given package is a dependency for?

But when I run emerge --ask --verbose - --update --newuse --deep world, I get the net-dialup/ppp package as one that is queued to be installed. I can only guess that this means that it's a dependency of another package that is already installed.
