Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

Hello

Something that I miss near every day is a way to directly get maintainer information. Currently, I get that information with epkginfo -m and also it is stored in build.logs by emerge, but each day I need to run a sequence of "eix" && epkginfo... multiple times. The first for knowing the version and USE flags, and the later to know the maintainers of the package I pretend to report a bug to

I am not sure if it would be possible to also give that information in a line (I don't mind if by default or with an option). The idea would be to have that in a line similar to portage does for storing that information in build.logs

Thanks a lot :)

This would be a very useful feature for me, too. I run alias em='equery meta' ;-)
