 |
|
Hi,
Having just come from an RPM based distro, I am still finding myself a little lost in Portage land. What I need is a quick guide to what Portage commands I need for tasks I used to do every day with RPM. Specifically:
How do I get a simple list of what packages are installed (rpm -qa)?
How do I find out which files belong to a particular package (rpm -ql package_name)?
How do I find out which package a given file belongs to (rpm -qf file_name)?
These 3 would be enough to keep me going for a while.
Thanks,
HuskyDog |

First, for all of these, emerge gentoolkit to get the tools you need. You may also want to emerge epm (epm is a RPM-like management tool).

With gentoolkit's qpkg:
qpkg -I -v
With epm:
epm -qa
