You are looking for a third party service, http://www.portagefilelist.de/index.php/Main_Page ex: http://www.portagefilelist.de/index.php/Special:PFLQuery2?file=%2Fbin%2Fbash&searchfile=lookup&lookup=file#result (for /bin/bash) The set of installed files depends on the use flag configuration, the versions of the installed dependencies, etc. To create a database you would have to install all packages with all use flag combinations. This means it's impossible to create a reliable database. Having said that, there is [1] and app-portage/pfl in which you might be interested. [1] http://www.portagefilelist.de/ |
