[gentoo-user] portage-2.1 elog...

[Peter Karlsson]

Hi!

I'm trying to get the emerge logs mailed to my user. Problem is that I've 
set postfix to listen only on unix sockets (i.e. it refuses tcp
smtp-connections) and I want it that way, for now. One solution would be 
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="custom" and do some "mail -s"-magic. I don't know how 
portage would output the info to get this to work however. Another 
solution would be to "fix" the mail-module 
(/usr/lib/portage/pym/elog_modules/mod_mail.py) to accept non-smtp mail as 
well. Problem is that I don't know python...

Anyone that has the same (or similar) problem? A hint or two would be very 
much appreciated.

Best regards

Peter K

Portage calls your PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND and sets two env vars, which
are to be given to your command.

You might want to have a look at <http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Making_portage_use_/usr/sbin/sendmail_to_send_out_ELOG_mails>.
