Hello,

ebuild metadata often contains long description of the packages, but I can't find a way to query it using eix-0.31.6. Please note that categories may have their own <longdescription> in their metadata files, probably a separate option should be used to query it.

I'm not sure if long descriptions should be cached at eix DB, but it would be nice to at least show it with -v option and add an appropriate FORMAT tag.
