Hi, *

Did you ever wonder how to see the emerge messages after emerge has
completed its tasks? During emerge/update of most packages there are
some messages displayed that should not be missed. But sitting in front
of the console for 40 hours (well, usually less) is not a nice solution.

My question is: is portage saving those messages somewhere? I have the
feeling that I miss some important things all the time, because
sometimes I manage to read some of the messages and they seem VERY
important (e.g. additional steps one needs to take after emerging).

Dumping all the emerge output to file and searching for the messages
does not seem promising too... Also checking which packages were updated
and browsing theirs ebuilds is not very elegant.

If you have some interesting solution, please share.

Greetings,
Rhywek.

can this repo be accessed with emerge allowing packages to be installed?

edit /etc/make.conf

uncomment the line that reads
 PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
That's where all the logs will go. Just read through them at your
pleasure. Often there will be multiple files created for each
compile, I have a hunch that there's one for pre_inst, one for inst,
and one for post_inst. Anyhow the important messages almost always
show up in the last file.
