You mean I have to emerge gentoolkit everytime I want to see a list of installed packages?
Just thought I'd save time

Yes! And read the whole manual page, too!

There is another tool called epm that is much faster than qpkg:
| Code: |
time qpkg -I
real 0m4.246s
user 0m1.495s
sys 0m2.356s
|
| Code: |
time epm -qa
real 0m0.354s
user 0m0.142s
sys 0m0.028s
|
I took out the list of applications because it is too long to post, but epm is a nice tool as is gentoolkits set of scripts.

Yep, but no man page on epm.
Where does it get its information from? |

I'm just assuming here, but I think it gets information from the same place qpkg and portage does.

I didn't write the program/script I just stated that it's in portage and indeed faster than qpkg.
If you want to know more about it I would recommend looking at the ebuild to see who the developer is and email him about it

I have to disagree with your conclusion, or at least with the way you conduced this test. If you ran one command after the other and, as you say, they get their data from the same place, the second one probably got the data from the cache, which is indeed much faster. To really conclude anything, you'd have to run each one two or three times, at least.

Actually I ran them the other way around first and epm is faster.

Good thinking though, I thought about the db information getting cached.

Hi
there is an ebuild: KPortageMaster
It's a KDE gui for portage.
It also lets you see the list of all installed packages

Excellent. I just tried that, it looks very nice.
Actually, is there a way to see the installation date of the merging?
I believe I'm asking too much, but who knows...
Thanks for the tips all |

One cool thing I've found about qpkg is that it can help emerge actually do the whole world.
I've done it (after much twitching as it was compiling, scared as hell) when I inserted -fomit-frame-pointer into my CFLAGS.
qpkg -nc -I | sort | uniq | NOCOLOR="true" xargs emerge -u (-p for pretend it if you wish) |

You don't need to re-emerge it everytime. Once you emerge it, it's always on your system. |

That was the only sane way you could re-emerge everything on your system until portage2 came out and fixed emerge -e world.
