Bug 5000 – integrate qpkg functionality into emerge

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Mike Roest 2002-07-14 16:58:43 UTC]

I have 2 requests for features

emerge --list 

That will list all the currently installed packages ala rpm -qa

and 

emerge --find /path/to/file

That will allow you to list what package /path/to/file is from ala 
rpm -qf /path/to/file

Thanks

these features already exist

`emerge gentoolkit` and then type `qpkg -h`

Best to integrate this functionality into emerge at some point.

If possible make the "-f" use regexps.. I more often get the question "what
package provides foo" then "what packages provides /path/to/foo".

So "What package provides "libhistory.so" ?" could be checked with
  ~$ emerge -f "*libhistory.so*"
by ppl that think have this file on their system.

-f is already taken by fetch ;) 
 
the prob with integrating qpkg with emerge is we start to run out of cmdline opts ... 
then they get more obscure and it kinda becomes a pain ... 
 
oh and you can do `qpkg -fp '*libhist*'`

Something for portage-ng methinks.
