I only want to see the * BLA BLA and * BLA BLA informations of an ebuild, having it installed or not. How to do that?

Wooff

hi,
I would like to force portage to use any human readable format for DATE and TIME . Any idea?

for example anything like this:

Maybe this topic is of use: nice trick: formatting the time code in emerge.log.

Why aint elog save enabled by default in the make config and when an emerge is finnished just automatically echo the saved contents to the user? Isn't this what most users want? To actually see the important warnings/info for each package without having to watch the compile. To me it seems as all the required code for doing this is in place allready. The additions to the emerge script shouldn't be that overwhelming, to my understanding.

edit: I'm writing this because I in my last emerge -uD world by pure luck managed to catch an einfo message from GTK telling me to rebuild certain packages because they would break else. Why in the name of $DEITY is so important information allowed to just scroll by in useless compile output? For the record this wouldn't have been the first time my gentoo system got b0rken by an -uD world, and yes I _ALLWAYS_ run etc-update after my updates, regardless of if I was told or not.

It looks like this is now in portage.

You just need to add some variables to your make.conf

What exactly do the various elog classes mean? The sample conf and documentation are vague.

I presume that info, warn and error record the respective einfo/ewarn/eerror messages to the individual elogs. What does log do?

Having emerged linux-headers, I was fortunate to see a notice's recommending a rebuild of glibc appear on the screen. Checking elogv and kelogviewer, though, I see no mention at all of linux-headers, let alone its messages. These two programs both show all of the other contemporaneous emerges, just not linux-headers.

Nevermind my question two posts above -- it's in the devmanual.

Several people seem to be looking for a way to keep /var/log/portdir clean.
Just wanted to point out that the tmpwatch serves this purpose well and is very simple to configure.

Man that is nice! I'm adding this to my tips if that's ok BoneKracker?

Can this also be used to keep distfiles clean and is there more config? (I know, RTFM ;)

Go for it.

Yeah, you'll be pleased to know it comes already configured to clean distfiles and the portage tempdir. I primarily use a monthly eclean for that, but have tmpwatch sweeping up any remaining cruft months later.
