IIRC there is nothing comparable @ Gentoo. This was discussed some times ago, but never implemented. I think someone had the idea of something like an online package/file database from which you can query -- but I am afraid it wasn't implemented as well, you guessed it. But I am sure nobody would be angry if you would do that ;) Greetings, Matthias -- Matthias F.
