Can I get a likely search string for the massive man page of eix to
understand all the info contained in its ouput.
A quick search on `output' seems to miss it.
Things like found in this output:
eix ^apr$
* dev-libs/apr
Available versions: (1) 1.2.11!t (~)1.2.12!t (~)1.3.0!t 1.3.2!t 1.3.3!t 1.3.5!t
{debug doc ipv6 urandom}
Homepage: http://apr.apache.org/
Description: Apache Portable Runtime Library
What do the `!t' entries following the versions available mean?
Also, is it odd to have older versions under `~'?
