Why doesn't esearch show ALL packages? At the very least, it should have a way to show the masked version. Sometimes there is only a masked version of a package, and therefore esearch doesn't show any at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: shows only one unmasked version Expected Results: this should work more like 'eix' does: daevid ~ # USE='~x86' esearch eix [ Results for search key : eix ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * app-portage/eix Latest version available: 0.3.0-r1 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of downloaded files: 281 kB Homepage: http://eixwiki.unfoog.de Description: Small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for fast results License: GPL-2 daevid ~ # eix eix * app-portage/eix Available versions: 0.2.2 0.2.6 ~0.3.0 0.3.0-r1 Installed: 0.3.0-r1 Homepage: http://eixwiki.unfoog.de Description: Small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for fast results Found 1 matches

Eh? $ grep cinelerra /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask media-video/cinelerra $ esearch cinelerra * media-video/cinelerra [ Masked ] Latest version available: 1.2.1 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of downloaded files: 22,335 kB Homepage: http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3 Description: Cinelerra - Professional Video Editor License: GPL-2 $ esearch -v cinelerra * media-video/cinelerra [ Masked ] Latest version available: 1.2.1 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Unstable version: 1.2.1 Use Flags (stable): - Size of downloaded files: 22,335 kB Homepage: http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3 Description: Cinelerra - Professional Video Editor License: GPL-2
I should be more clear. it doesn't show the masked versions of the same package if there is an unmasked version too.
