[gentoo-user] emaint -C logs

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I've been playing with emaint and on one box I got an error message:

# emaint -C logs

PORT_LOGDIR_CLEAN command returned None
See the make.conf(5) man page for PORT_LOGDIR_CLEAN usage instructions.

This is needlessly complex. In fact all I needed was for PORT_LOGDIR to be 
defined in make.conf.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was similarly afflicted.

What is emaint -- I don't see it in the tree.

That's because it's part of portage, an essential part now as syncing
won't work without it so you already have it installed.
