Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2017-10-16 22:27:46 UTC
dev-tex/texmfind was used many years ago to
"Locate the ebuild providing a certain texmf file through regexp"
it was superseded by the more more comprehensive solution

app-portage/pfl http://www.portagefilelist.de/

upstream development till 2010 was on
https://launchpad.net/texmfind/
and 
http://home.gna.org/texmfind (shut down)

app-portage/pfl does the job now very good since many years, the TeX Project decided to last-rite the obsolete package now.
