# emi - the EMerge Interface
# Copyright (C) 2001 William J. Rogers (wjr@wam.umd.edu)

# An interface to the Gentoo Portage package system in the style of
apt-get

Available at http://www.wam.umd.edu/~wjr/emi (also linked off of
http://www.wam.umd.edu/~wjr).

This is a perl script that can acts as a user-friendly interface to
emerge merge, package information, and ebuild unmerge operations.  Its
features include:
	- emi merge <package file>
checks if there is an ebuild in the tree for this package (if you are
calling it on a binary .tbz2), lists currently installed versions, lists
dependencies via emerge --pretend, and tells you if those have ebuilds
available also, then asks if you want to install and fires off emerge if
you say yes
	- emi query <package name>
Lists ebuilds for this program in the portage tree, source packages in
the distfiles folder, binary packages in PKGDIR, and current versions in
/var/db/pkg
	- emi unmerge <package name>
Lists current versions in /var/db/pkg and allows you to select one to
unmerge (via ebuild unmerge) or quit

I wrote this in my spare time over the weekend because I found it
tiresome to manually look around to discover various information about
packages.  This functionality might be planned in future emerge
iterations; it might already exist somewhere I haven't found yet.  If
so, I don't really care; I had fun writing it :).

Please check it out if you're interested and let me know what you think.

Heh...  That's what I get for sending mails at 2am.  Forgetting to check
the reply address.  So much for not nagging anyone.

Sorry folks.

Will
