Very useful for finding duplicate packages. Your bash style was also enlightening for me. I had no clue how to use colors until then. Perhaps, though, qpkg should not flag major revisions as duplicates. For instance, qpkg flags the following packages as duplicates: x11-libs/qt-2.3.1 x11-libs/qt-3.0.1 media-libs/freetype-2.0.5-r1 media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r3 sys-devel/automake-1.4_p5 sys-devel/automake-1.4-r2 The first two sets are not duplicates because they are incompatible major versions. The dbm libraries also have this issue (there are three major versions in common use, though I'm not sure what's included with gentoo.) I have no idea what to do about the last set - it's not possible to tell by the name which is more recent (I'm not sure how I got into this situation either!) - Brent On 13 Jan 2002, Vitaly Kushneriuk wrote: > On Sun, 2002-01-13 at 16:46, John Stalker wrote: > > qpkg is quite useful.
