Hi
That kind of search/find capabilities will be available in a very short
time in one of the next portage versions.. Currently, the app can be
obtained on http://www.gentoo.org/~verwilst, but it will be a part of
emerge in a matter of days i think.. The major version stuff will be
present in emerge as well (so for example qt-3 and qt-2 will be seen as
diff apps..)
Thanks
