After looking thru the portage man pages, the make.conf.example in
/usr/share/portage/config, and the `Portage log wiki' it still is not
clear to me how long elogs are kept if you use the `save' flag in
make.conf or not.

I did see something about '7 days' but it was not clear if that is the
default and `save' over-rides it or what.  Or if there is another flag
that controls there duration...

Can anyone throw light on that?
