Finding an ebuild by binary name

Message

I am looking for an ebuild that would generate the program/script isodebug but I don't know what to look for, or if it's in an ebuild at all.

Is there a way to search for ebuilds that match names of binaries it would generate if the ebuild was emerged?

If not, that'd be really really cool.

(right now, I am trying to do something similar to what they do here)

Not exactly what you want, but try with

Code: Select all

emerge -s iso

Or capital S to get a search in the description as well.
No, that is not what I am looking for.
Thank you anyway.

No, we don't have such a service at the moment. According to www.rpmfind.net isodebug belongs to the same package that contains mkisofs, which is cdrtools for Gentoo systems.

Thank you fo your answer.

What a pity

I too discovered that isodebug should belong to cdrtools. But in gentoo, the cdrtools ebuild does not produce any isodebug. There are no USE-flags to switch on either, so I can't tell why it's missing. Maybe this should be reported as an ebuild bug?

However, I managed to extract the information I needed from the ISO like this:

Code: Select all

bash-2.05b# grep --text mkisofs install-x86-minimal-2004.1.iso
mkisofs 2.01a24 -J -R -l -o install-x86-minimal-2004.1.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -z livecd-stage2-x86-200404131`DOCùISOLINU2RR_MOVEDúZISOFaHANDBOOKVAACRAID?ACT2000WAIC7XXX
bash-2.05b#

This shows how the iso was made, and that is kind of everything I wanted to do with isodebug. (I think)

Moved to Duplicate Threads in favour of emerge --provides ? what package provides what file? and Search for file in portage.
