The main thing I use it for, and therefore the question I have about any useful substitute, is quickly getting a changelog when portage won't spit one out. In particular, when there's a USE flag change in an existing package, or a downgrade, emerge --log won't output anything, because it's not an upgrade. However, I find the info in such logs often useful! Of course I can check the package category and type in the whole long path to the changelog and edit/head/view it by hand, but a quick dep -j <pkg> is a lot faster and very useful! While I'm at it, is there anything useful to display metadata.xml? In particular, the long descriptions and use flags can be useful. With use.desc and especially the local version thereof going deprecated, and with additional info about global flags sometimes in the metadata... -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
