In order for eix to pick-up all packages, and not just those in /usr/local/portage, I had to add
Code:
PORTDIR_CACHE="/usr/portage"

to my /etc/eixrc.

And putting
Code:
PORTDIR_CACHE_METHOD="none"

in /etc/eixrc got rid of the extra gobbeldy-gook emitted when running eix. Using "backport" did not work for me.

I just tried this because I came across an oddity when doing
Code:
p4pe ~ # eix dvd+rw-tools
Found 0 matches

if I do 'eix dvd' it shows amongst others
Code:
* app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools
     Available versions:  5.21.4.10.8 6.0 6.1
     Installed:           6.1
     Homepage:            http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/
     Description:         A set of tools for DVD+RW/-RW drives

if I use equery
Code:
# equery l dvd+rw-tools
[ Searching for package 'dvd+rw-tools' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [ ~] app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools-6.1 (0)

whats going on? or am I being dumb this morning..

edit: it doesn't like the + character it would seem..
Code:
p4pe ~ # eix dvd+r
* app-cdr/dvdrtools
     Available versions:  0.1.6 ~0.2.1
     Installed:           none
     Homepage:            http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/
     Description:         A fork of cdrtools, including DVD support.
no trouble with
Code:
p4pe ~ #  ./qpkg dvd+ -I
app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools *

Great!

It work for me too.

My solution was:
Code:

idoru rez # emerge metadata && update-eix


I didn't need create /etc/eixrc either edit it.

Thanx a lot!
