There IS one, atleast I have "overheard" a conversation on #gentoo at either
ircnet or efnet about someone making such project. I think it was even in

You don't need to be connected to internet when doing emerge search. It
searches your local copy of the portage tree. You should update the tree by

will shorten the time to install 'xfree' and 'kde' But I
am not quite sure how to proceed as instructed. Most postings suggest

Hi Jon,
If you know the name of the package, have a look in /usr/portage with
find, e.g.
cd /usr/portage
find . -name 'rolo' -maxdepth 2
find . -name 'openoffice*' -maxdepth 2
Alternatively, have a trawl through the online package listing on the
gentoo website.
Or try
emerge search
e.g.
emerge

cd /usr/portage
