Fquery

version 0.2

Fquery (formerly Adelie) is a fast replacement for the equery tool in Gentoo Linux, written in Haskell.

It works on installed packages only, and requires no caching. Fquery's features includes:

• Determining who is depending on a particular package
• Find in which package a file belongs
• Describe a package's USE flags
• Check the MD5sums of the contents in a package
• List changes to a package since the installed version

I have only tested it with GHC, which can be found in portage (dev-lang/ghc).

Some differences in the behaviour of Fquery and other tools.

Benchmarks between Fquery and equery.

Changes Since 2006-04-30

• ChangeLog command works properly
• Don't assume all files exist
• --no-colour option
• long command names

Download

Fquery has been tested with portage-2.1_rc1-r2.

Hopefully Fquery will make its way into app-portage/fquery and you can just install it via emerge. Until then, you need to place the ebuild into you portage overlay.
