IIRC, it is not possible to get a complete file list without actually
compiling the package, because the different USE flags declared change
which files will be installed.
However, if you are willing to build the package without actually
installing it to your system, you can run emerge with the '-B' option
to build a binary package. This command creates a .tbz2 archive
containing all of the files that would be installed by the package,
which you can then browse through.
HTH,

Hello List,
Is it possible to find out what are the file names (full path) to be
installed by a package without installing it?
Thanks,
