I'm pretty convinced that in the past I was able to list a category by typing e.g.:

$ eix x11-terms/

However, with the newest version I just get:

$ eix x11-terms/
No matches found
$ eix x11-terms/xfc
No matches found
Comment 1 Martin Väth 2017-04-08 14:04:44 UTC
In DEFAULT_MATCH_ALGORITHM the test to interpret "/" for --begin came after the test to interpret "[:/]" (meant for homepages) for --exact. Thus, e.g.

eix --begin x11-terms/

would work, but the default algorithm (--exact) is not the expected one.

The bug has already been fixed in eix-0.32.6 where the test for --exact has become less aggressive.
