Handling generated caches across multiple repositories pretty much requires getting all your repositories from the same place. It's certainly something that's doable, but getting it right is important and as far as I know it's not a huge priority for Exherbo right now. > Surely I can miss something, but in default configuration, doing > pretty standart query like: $ cave search --index ~/cave-search-index > gcc > > ..

Whether or not any of a package's versions' descriptions contains 'gcc' is not static. Similarly, what the 'best visible' version of a package is varies every time the user changes config files or syncs, so that's not static either. -- Ciaran McCreesh
