I suppose versions could be added to that, but the descriptions are not really short or predictable. carpaski@fenchurch ~ $ emerge -sq portage Searching... [ Results for search key : portage ] [ Applications found : 4 ] * app-portage/portage-manpages * app-portage/portage-prefpane [ Masked ] * app-portage/portagemaster * sys-apps/portage Ouch, my bad! I did not see the -q option. :( But I see the problem with descriptions. I suppose, without getting overly complicated, you _might_ be able to format the output to fit in an 80 column format and have fixed locations for each variable and truncate if too long????? Anyway, it's just a thought. I think having versioning and installation information is important and descriptions beneficial! I don't see a need for --pause if emerge -s foo | less does the trick... agreed, that's what PAGER's are for |
