Is there a command to show the fields like DESCRIPTION and HOMEPAGE from an installed ebuild, or is this one of the annoying gaps in the framework that must be (and can be) trivially worked around?
Example: I have installed x11-terms/rxvt-unicode. I don't know what it is (no, really! :-P ) and I sure as h*ll don't know the exact version number I have. I want to visit the upstream website to learn more. I know the following command will mostly do it, but it will occassionally show too much and scroll the relevant result off the screen. Also, being a search, it is much slower than necessary. emerge --search --quiet n x11-terms/rxvt-unicode -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup. To reply privately _only_ on Usenet and on broken lists which rewrite From, fetch the TXT record for no-use.mooo.com.
