Hi,

It's possible with emerge ( emerge -s "%^R$" ) , but I recommend to
install eix, then use eix-sync instead of emerge --sync. Eix is a lot
faster !

With eix you can search for the exact match with the -e option :

# eix -e R
* dev-lang/R
     Available versions:  2.7.1 2.7.2 (~)2.8.1 {X bash-completion
cairo debug doc java jpeg lapack minimal nls png readline tk}
     Homepage:            http://www.r-project.org/
     Description:         Language and environment for statistical
computing and graphics


or you can search the Homepage with "eix -H r-project"

regards,

Boris
