 Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 8:53 pm Post subject: [TIP] List All Installed Packages Using eix |
 |
|
You'll need eix. If you don't have it installed, type:
The script is as follows:
| Code: | | eix -Ic | grep "\[[A-Z]" | awk '{print $2}' |
You can even customize it to include a full range of eix command, as long as it's output in compact mode:
| Code: | | eix -c $* | grep "\[[A-Z]" | awk '{print $2}' |
It's pretty handy and it saved me some time. I thought I could share it to everyone. |

Thank you for sharing this method with eix. Do you know how to use eix so it only prints those packages that are stable for a given arch? Let's say eix -c asterisk will print not only stable but also unstable and masked packages. How to single out only stable packages?
thanks

@robbyjo,
what about | Code: | | eix -Ic --format-compact '<category>/<name>' |
? |

It cannot work because '-I' stands for installed packages only. I want stable only packages displayed.
I tried different things. It seems it can't be done in a simple manner. Am I the only guy that wants to see stable only packages available for any given search string?
Wierd indeed.
