[gentoo-dev] portage functionality

[gentoo-dev] portage functionality

[Jared H. Hudson]

Is there any way to determine what package file X belongs to?
For example, under rpm's you can type rpm -qf <path to file>/file and it
will report what package it belongs to. Also what about listing all
files that belong to a package, for example rpm -ql <package name>

If this support is not built in, is there plans to include these
functions, and if so is anyone working on it? I'd be happy to start
programming this functionality into emerge or ebuild, if someone guides
me how they would like it to work, assuming thought to this has been
given.

grep <file> /var/db/pkg/*/*/CONTENTS

cat /var/db/pkg/<portage-category>/<package>/CONTENTS

Portage is gradually becoming more convenient with time, and features
like these will probably be implemented in the future. 

In the meantime, you might try this script by Vitaly Kushnerick
 
http://lists.gentoo.org/pipermail/gentoo-dev/2002-January/008991.html

Also, check out pkgsearch found in /usr/lib/portage/bin

Hope that helps,

I've not even created an ebuild for this, but you can get an rpm partial
workalike at

    http://www.speakeasy.org/~yde/epm

It supports most of the querying functions of rpm, but works with the
Portage database.

Doh!

I forgot about epm (sorry Aron).  It's been in my ~/bin since October :)

I think it's time to start merging all package-helpers in someway.
Currently there are lots of them out there.

* epm
* gentool
* qpkg
* pkgfind

(and possibly more).

Shouldn't we try to make one tool that handles what all these can do?

Well, emerge --search will be available in a matter of days, based on my
pkgsearch script.. As soon as i have the time, i'll implement it..
Also 'emerge --world update' is working as well now i've noticed, so 
emerge is really starting to mature :o)
Great work guys!
