However portage writes most ">>>" messages to stderr. You can either file a bug report on bugs.gentoo.org to try and get the behavior changed, or use "emerge ... 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep -v -e '>>> Regenerating '". This will send stdout to /dev/null, and stderr to the pipe where grep can filter out whatever messages annoy you. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
