 |
|
I've been using the following command to list up the files in a particular package (i.e. the files that were installed by PACKAGE_NAME).
| Code: | | equery files PACKAGE_NAME |
But I noticed that it works only for the package that are already installed. I'd like to know if there is a way to list up the files that will be installed before I install the package. Thank you.

Indeed I do. For example, let's say I'm looking for a program called "mimencode". I think it's a part of "metamail" package, but I'm not quite sure. "qsearch mime" results in a bunch of packages that might have the program I'm looking for, but unless there is a way to list up the files that will be installed, I wouldn't know what to install.

I'd recommend http://www.portagefilelist.de/ . It's not an official project so it may eat your pets, but IMO, it works pretty well. |
