Description teri-aka TrAns13nT 2002-07-25 15:01:24 UTC

maybe a line in the ebuild that displays on screen when the ebuild is copleting
the command that runs the app or whatever was jsut emerged, cuz it's not always
easy to figure out what command runs a just installed app and the man pages
isn't always the name of the emerged app

you could use qpkg tool that is part of gentoolkit
`qpkg -l <pkg>`

This would be appropriate info when we add more extensive documentation to the
Portage tree... (future project)

Follow-up: optional XML documentation to live in /usr/portage/cat/pkg/pkg.xml
would solve this.

Comment 4 teri-aka TrAns13nT 2003-02-26 07:29:16 UTC

would the optional XML documentation to live in /usr/portage/cat/pkg/pkg.xml include names of the biniaries of deps that were installed as well, or jsut the names of the bianries for the package that was called?

Is this still planned ? Also, would pkg.xml be an extension to metadata.xml
or a new file ? Personally I don't see a need for this, `qpkg -l pkg | grep
bin/` is IMO sufficient.
If there are no objections I'll close this as WONTFIX.

There were no objections and this bug was inactive for more than 3 months.

Closing as WONTFIX. Reopen if needed.
