Git is cool and awesome!!

Using a version control system is a mandatory thing for software developments.I have personally use svn and to be very frank stumble a lot.

But when I look in git , I feel more comfortable and at home kinda feeling.Those of you are serious about it,should look in here to get your hands dirty.

First read it here

If you are impatience one like me then should start using it here
,provided you have little bit of understanding what you are doing.Just to get an feel for it and how it works.

I will update this space if I got time again with my own work...BTW you can visit my nonsense github page if you like...nothing in it...take a look..

How to enlist installed packages on Gentoo

Okay,I haven't write anything about sometime.So start this year with very rudimentary little info.

Say, I would like to see how many packages are installed in system running Gentoo? So ,how do i do that?

Actually couple of ways to do that.First and foremost thing to do, installed a package called gentoolkit .Once this is installed all the hard is done!

Lets explore it.

bhaskar@GentooLinux_17:52:33_Wed Jan 09:~> sudo genlop -t gentoolkit
Password:
* app-portage/gentoolkit

Wed Aug 17 11:48:34 2011 >>> app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.4
merge time: 10 seconds.

Fri Oct 14 10:34:59 2011 >>> app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.4-r4
merge time: 9 seconds.

Wed Dec 21 10:15:12 2011 >>> app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.4-r5
merge time: 11 seconds.

Fri Jun 15 12:42:17 2012 >>> app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.5
merge time: 23 seconds.

Fri Jul 13 11:15:24 2012 >>> app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.6-r3
merge time: 27 seconds.

Wed Dec 19 12:21:43 2012 >>> app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0.7
merge time: 14 seconds.

So, I have installed it.Now this package come with lot of utility tools.One of them is called "equery" and I am gonna use it to show ,how it can be useful in this regards.

I have snipped the output for ease of viewing.As you can see it nicely enlisting all the package installed in the system.Now a little bit of explanation about the leftmost two square brackets.The first one saying "IP" ,that means it is installed from the portage tree and the next bracket is for slots.

Now you can achieve the same thing other ways to ..like below:
