Portage currently does not store any information about where a package was installed from. Therefore the best you can do is manually inspect the output of `eix --installed-overlay`. It will show all packages where the version you have installed exists in any overlay (and you can see if they exist in the tree too). That, however, only implies that they might have been installed from that overlay.. It does require app-portage/eix-0.8.x. Also if you use update-eix-remote you better (re)move the eix database (/var/cache/eix) and regenerate the database with `update-eix` first or you will get a lot of false positives. IOW you need the eix database to only contain installed overlays. -- Bo Andresen
