• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2004-11-15 04:06:21 UTC]

Hello. I'm using etcat (0.3.1).

When I want to see versions of ebuild available in portage etcat normaly adds word OVERLAY to every line of the output.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. etcat -v ebuild_name


Actual Results:  
antsy root # etcat -v wine 
[ Results for search key           : wine ] 
[ Candidate applications found : 3 ] 
 
 Only printing found installed programs. 
 
*  app-emulation/wine : 
        [   ] 20040716 (0) OVERLAY 
        [ ~I] 20041019 (0) OVERLAY 
        [M  ] 20041019-r3 (0) OVERLAY 
antsy root # etcat -v postfix 
[ Results for search key           : postfix ] 
[ Candidate applications found : 3 ] 
 
 Only printing found installed programs. 
 
*  mail-mta/postfix : 
        [   ] 2.0.19 (0) OVERLAY 
        [   ] 2.1.3 (0) OVERLAY 
        [   ] 2.1.5-r1 (0) OVERLAY 
antsy root #                          

Expected Results:  
Same output, but without word OVERLAY. 

This bug appeared after upgrade to the latest version of portage.

fixed in 0.2.0_rc1 (but you should use equery instead as etcat is deprecated)

[Comment 2 Alexandru Toma 2004-12-08 05:04:18 UTC]

Unfortunately, equery doesn't yet have all the functionality etcat has. Maybe I'm wrong. What's  the equery equivalent for "etcat -v ebuild"?

"equery list ebuild" only lists the installed packages.

equery list -i -p -o ebuild is the equivalent of etcat -v ebuild
