Description Andrew Cowie 2004-02-08 20:53:52 UTC
running `etcat versions sys-libs/db` used to produce a nice, concise output, in the form:

sys-libs/db
  [  I] 4.0.14-r2 (4)
  [M~ ] 4.2.52_p1 (4.2)


And so on.

Now, each *individual* version [ebuild] get's it's own status line. 

sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2 :
  [  I] 4.0.14-r2 (4)

sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p1 :
  [M~ ] 4.2.52_p1 (4.2)

etc Which is kinda silly. I realize that this is just a request, but the conciseness of etcat versions was one of the best things about Gentoo. In fact, I am in the process of writing an article for a Linux magazine praising that very feature!

Is this something that can be controlled with a configuration parameter? Either way, I recommend reverting that behaviour.
