It sounds like you're thinking of the eix-diff application that comes with eix. When using eix-sync, it's run after the sync is complete to update the eix database; but it can be run by itself. To update a eix database, run 'eix-diff /var/cache/eix.previous /var/cache/eix' after you run eix-update. It will show all new ebuilds, what was removed, et cetera. Hope that helps. -- Jake Todd // If it isn't broke, tweak it!
