|
|
hi,
I would like to force portage to use any human readable format for DATE and TIME . Any idea?
for example anything like this:
| Code: | 2006/11/24 14:40:38 >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-ftp/ftp-0.17-r6 to /
2006/11/24 14:41:16 *** exiting successfully. |
instead of
| Code: | 1164288247: >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-ftp/ftp-0.17-r6 to /
1164288271: *** exiting successfully.

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. |

Agreed.

I also would like to know how to do precisely this. |

It looks like this is now in portage.
You just need to add some variables to your make.conf
| Code: |
# This sets where to log
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
# This sets what to log
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log info"
# And this is how to do it
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save"
|
You may need to create the directories
| Code: |
mkdir /var/log/portage
mkdir /var/log/portage/elog
|
GUIs for viewing the "elogs" are available in portage: http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=elogs |

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.
It installs the 15 KB binary /usr/sbin/tmpwatch, and it creates a little bourne script in /etc/cron.daily. There is no configuration file.
Add this line to the variables section near the top. You could manually assign PORT_LOGDIR (or just type /var/log/portage directly in the rule), but this will query portage to dynamically determine the correct location of its log directory so the script will still function if you change the log location:
| Code: | | PORT_LOGDIR="$(portageq envvar PORT_LOGDIR)" |
Then down below, add a rule something like this to clean the portage log directory (delete the files that have not been modified in >=168 hours):
| Code: | | ${TMPWATCH} --mtime 168 $PORT_LOGDIR |
Alternative: If you want, you can exclude your elog directory like so (instead of line above):
| Code: | | ${TMPWATCH} --exclude $PORT_LOGDIR/elog --mtime 168 $PORT_LOGDIR |
Option: If so, and you still want to clean elog but after a different time, you could then insert a second rule below the first to handle it:
| Code: | | ${TMPWATCH} --mtime 720 $PORT_LOGDIR/elog |
|

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. |

mkdir /var/log/portage
mkdir /var/log/portage/elog
|

Where would a user figure out they need to make an elog directory? I mean other than searching here? I happened to know that I could set the log directory to gain more information. And I did read the entry in make.conf.sample (or is it example?) that talks about needing to create the /var/log/portage directory for this to work. But I didn't see anything about needing to make an elog directory too. And without it I get a list of what compiled, but not the after ebuild instructions.
Thankfully I have a new target to search under for this info, but I want to echo the disbelief that I have to manually get the list of things that packages have told me I must do. Things that may totally hose my system if I don't do them before I reboot are lost unless I know the magic handshake(s). Not the best way to make a user friendly system. |

Well, you can put the log where you're up to, of course. Knowing the FHS and the ideas behind it helps a lot and is basic preconditioned Unix knowledge.

Thanks for the idea - till now when I needed to log outputs I used emerge | tee emergelog but it was bad, because output was no longer colourful

Could a mod add something like the following to the first post of this thread?
| Quote: |
By default, emerge messages are logged here:
/var/log/portage/elog
|
I had to read 3 pages to find that. |

|

Hi,
how can I recover the messages displayed by portage after emerging some packages?
I found that you can control this with the PORT_LOGDIR variable, but shouldn't the most important messages be stored by default anywhere for future reference?
I'm sure this question has been asked and answered several times, but I'm not able to find it in the boards.
TIA
