It uses indexing to allow quick searches through the package tree. Some reasons for using eix: Fast indexing and searching Highly configurable output-format (with its own \"language\") Provides more information than most other search utilities (e.g. shows every available version, USE flags of available and emerged versions, ...) Shows stability/mask status of versions and how your local settings change it Helps you to manage your local /etc/portage/package. settings in several ways (e.g. by finding \"obsolete\" entries by various criteria) Can import eix-files from other systems, e.g. to get a catalogue of overlays Cli with logical AND/OR (and braces), multiple matching algorithms (i.e. fuzzy search using levenshtein distance) and more eix is in the portage tree, so you can simply install it with emerge app-portage/eix The most current version of eix is always available as \"HEAD\" in the git master branch. To get this version, emerge dev-vcs/git and then use the command git clone git://github.com/vaeth/eix For bugreports, please use the GitHub or the Gentoo bug system. If you want to reach the current maintainer, please use email.
