Bug 261935 – app-portage/esearch - patch for new "search for packages NOT installed" feature

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description JTRiley 2009-03-10 02:25:29 UTC]

I'm a regular user of esearch and something I use all the time is the
-I option to search for installed packages.  However, I do find cases where
I want the inverse of -I meaning I want to search packages that are NOT installed.

Soooo...I implemented it. Please take it or leave it :D

e.g. esearch


Reproducible: Always

patch that adds -N option to esearch

Patch implements the -N (--notinst) option mentioned above.

e.g. esearch -N amarok (returns matches to amarok that are NOT installed)
