 Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2013 12:51 pm Post subject: Improvements to equery |
 |
|
In the beginning was equery 0.1.4, written by Karl Trygve Kalleberg,
which searched the portage tree for matching package names:
| Code: |
equery list man-page
* installed packages
sys-apps/man-pages-3.23
sys-apps/man-pages-posix-2003a
|
Then it was improved to the current equery 0.3.07, with explicit wild-cards:
| Code: |
equery list \*man-page\*
!!! Invalid CPV: '*man-page*'
|
There were problems with the pattern matching, which couldn't handle
entries with '-', but there's a patch for that somewhere in the archives
and I finally got annoyed enough by inadmissable searches to add it:
| Code: |
equery list \*man-page\*
sys-apps/man-pages-3.44
sys-apps/man-pages-posix-2003a
|
Then equery started detecting invalid package names; a really good idea,
except that one way of temporarily keeping local overlay entries out of
the way of emerge is, you've guessed it, renaming them:
| Code: |
equery list -p \*man-page\*

app-i18n/man-pages-it-2.65
app-i18n/man-pages-it-2.80
app-i18n/man-pages-ja-20070515
app-i18n/man-pages-ja-20101110
... etc
|
But being intelligent as well as beautiful I soon found a way around the problem:
| Code: |
equery list -p \*man-page\* 2>/dev/null
sys-apps/man-pages-3.28
sys-apps/man-pages-3.29
sys-apps/man-pages-3.30
sys-apps/man-pages-3.31
sys-apps/man-pages-3.32
... etc
|
So finally, after a lot of work by skilled developers, we have an equery
that is only slightly more inconvenient than the original.
Excuse me, but I'm off to write a quick and simple Portage tree scanner...

| Have you looked at app-portage/portage-utils? |

| To put things into perspective, half of those "problems" were caused by changes in portage, not equery. |

They could also use something like porthole, that is if it being run from within X.
