could someone tell me where i can configure logging for portage? i.e. i
would like emerge.log to be longer, and i would rather portage logging was
all placed under a directory in /var/log

thanks

mkdir /var/log/portage
echo "PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage" >> /etc/make.conf

well, I can answer the location question ...

dave@desktop ~ $ cat /etc/make.conf | grep LOG
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/emerge-logs

Go into /etc/make.conf and look for 'PORT_LOGDIR'

You may also be interested in a tool called enotice. It should be present
somewhere on the forums. Make sure you have the newest version, because the
older one has a very annoying bug which causes you to miss notices.

Anyway, with enotice, you can easily keep track of the messages emerge gives
you, without digging through the logfiles yourself. There is a similair tool
called portlog (or something, but enotice is much better).

Both are redundant with portage 2.1, which is able to save or mail
emerge messages, or even pass them to a custom handler.

Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?

Hey, that's good to know. I'll pay attention to it when Portage 2.1 becomes
stable.
