I have just realized about programs that can be installed in slots.
Is there a way for me to find out what programs are installed in more
than one slot on my computer? Can I tell if a particular program in a
slot is still needed?
"emerge --prune --pretend world" will tell you all packages that have
more than one version installed (ie. slotted).
As for finding out whether a particular version of a slotted package
is still needed or not, well, you could do:
emerge --prune <pkg>
emerge -Dv world
revdep-rebuild
But the above is a bit dangerous, and could break your system. Be careful.
I like the old 'etcat'. You can still find it on your system at
/usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-<version>/deprecated/etcat/etcat.
I use 'etcat versions <pkg>' all the time. The number in parentheses is
the slot that package is in. E.G. for php:
[ Results for search key : php ]
[ Candidate applications found : 13 ]
Only printing found installed programs.
* dev-lang/php :
[ ~ ] 4.3.11-r4 (4)
[ ~ ] 4.4.0-r4 (4)
[ I] 4.4.1-r2 (4)
[M~ ] 5.0.4-r4 (5)
[M~ ] 5.0.5-r4 (5)
* dev-php/php :
[ ] 4.3.11 (0)
[ ] 4.3.11-r1 (0)
[ ] 4.3.11-r3 (0)
[ ] 4.3.11-r4 (0)
[ ] 4.4.0 (0)
[ ] 4.4.0-r1 (0)
[ ] 4.4.0-r3 (0)
[ ] 4.4.0-r4 (0)
This shows that I have ver 4.4.1-r2 installed on my system in slot 4.
I haven't found an equivalent w/ equery. I create a symbolic link from
the etcat location above to /usr/local/bin. However, everytime
gentoolkit is updated, I have to update the link.
Cheers,
Kevin
