 |
|
Hi,
I would like to search for packages in the games-rpg category that are NOT licensed under a proprietary EULA. I have tried to with eix (and yes I have read the man page and the eix --help output) using:
| Code: |
eix -Cc games-rpg -L --not "EULA"
|
and
| Code: |
eix -Cc "games-rpg" -L "[ -! "EULA" ]"
|
neither worked and they returned the same output as:
| Code: |
eix -Cc "games-rpg"
|
These two efforts to write an eix search for what I wanted were based on this line of the eix --help output:
| Code: |
EXPRESSION ::= [ --not | -! ] BRACE_OR_TEST |
EXPRESSION [ --and | -a ] EXPRESSION |
EXPRESSION [ --or | -o ] EXPRESSION |
|
Any ideas how to get a search that will return what I want?
Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Never mind I found the solution myself it is:
| Code: |
eix -Cc "games-rpg" --not -L "EULA"
