Hmm, that's a good point, it would have been much more visible if all
the notes were at the end of a large emerge, and perhaps also
automatically logged to a file somewhere for later review? I know this
would have personally also saved me many headaches if I had noticed the
output from vpopmail when I was trying to get it warning.
I don't know how one would go about spitting all the stuff out at the
end, as it is presently done with the ewarn/einfo functions in ebuilds.
However putting a copy of the messages in a directory somewhere
shouldn't be too hard, and this would go a long way to what we want,
while being a useful feature in itself.
Somebody did once submit this to the bugzilla tree, but it looks like it
never went very far:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11359
I've copied the original submitter on this email, so that he hopefully
sees it and checks if those patches still apply to portage.

Agreed. I was merely inquiring if the warning had been seen or not. The
developers have noted the need for a way to cause a set of packages to
be rebuilt after a merge, as this issue has happened on two? packages
now (libpng and mysql) I believe. The problem is that to effectively
find out what packages need to be rebuilt, large parts of the system
must be scanned (see the script in
/usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/files/rebuilder.sh)
