Listing installed packages under certain category

[kipibenkipod]

Hi,

Code: Select all

for i in /usr/portage/dev-ruby/*; do eix -I --compact dev-ruby/$(basename $i); done  | grep I

Or

Code: Select all

equery list -i | grep dev-ruby

Is there a simpler way to do it?

Thanks,
Kfir

Code: Select all

eix -IcA dev-ruby | less

?

Basically, -A defines the category for eix to look in.

Hi avx,
Thanks for your response. This is just what I was looking for.
I wrote this solution in my blog Searching for installed packages in special section/category

Thanks again,

how about

Code: Select all

ls /var/db/pkg/<category of interest>/

[Polynomial-C]

Code: Select all

qlist -I dev-ruby

qlist belongs to app-portage/portage-utils

... and

Code: Select all

eix -I --only-names dev-ruby/
