Hi all,

 

Is there someone here that use cfengine with emerge? The idea would be to put a new machine in place, run cfengine and all programs would be emerge just like all the other machines. But how would you do it to test if the program is installed? The worst thing I can think of  is to “eix program | grep program | grep installed or not” and I don’t want that J

eix isn't bad and it's the fastest I know. I don't use cfengine so I can't tell you if there are adverse effects to using it with portage. You're maybe just not calling eix in the right way tog et the info you want, here are a few examples:

kyron linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm3 # eix -Ic c3
No matches found.
kyron linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm3 # eix -Ic portage
[I] app-portage/portage-utils (0.1.29@04/13/2008): small and fast portage helper tools written in C
[I] sys-apps/portage (2.1.4.4@06/11/2008): Portage is the package management and distribution system for Gentoo
Found 2 matches.
kyron linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm3 # eix -Ic sys-apps/portage

Have a nice day.
