I was discussing this with one of the devs in the company this morning, and we both want to know how to determine which ebuild(s) will install a certain binary/lib that isn;t installed yet. Is there an app that does this? As a very simplistic example, I want 'equery', there's no ebuild called 'equery' cause it comes from gentoolkit. If I didn't already know that, how could I find it out? We had a quick look this morning and it seems like to do it we might have to extend something in the portage tree, perhaps a new xml tag in the metadata file that the maintainer would have to keep current alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
