emeta will likely become `equery meta' in the next release of gentoolkit, but feel free to use it from the overlay for now. Regarding equery, there's a "changes" option that is just waiting to be written. Considering udept's changleog function is about 30 lines, it should be trivial to do. If people are interested, I can handle that. It's something I would like to have, also. I hope to have the upgraded gentoolkit available for testing within a few weeks. -Doug
