a friend of mine wrote this for the LFS project:

which is an extension of the work I did on this hint:

Hello,

At first, I want to say to you that I find your works is very useful and
show the way of the simplicity of package-managing. Bravo !

But, for me, I find that a tools like installwatch, but which integrate
the list of the new file directly in the gentoo system, should be very
interessant. I explain me :
When I download a package, which hasn't any ebuild script, and I don't
want to make one : the program is compiled, and ready to install, but I
would like tomonitor the installation and integrate the informations in
Portage (ex I would like the list of the files appears in a qpkg -l
foo). A sort of tool simplify the utilisation of the Portage system and
should decide any user to use it :-)
I know the best way is to write a ebuild script, but I try
anyway asking my question :)

Ps: Sorry for my poor english, but it isn't my mother-language (you
should have see that). It should be very horrible to read for any
english ...

do a
# script install.log
before installing a package (man script for more information). This will start 
a new shell and log all input and output to the file install.log. When you've 
finished, just type exit to leave the shell.

hth,
Karsten
