I get annoyed trying to read each file in the elog directory seeing as how most of them are repeated from previous merges. So I wrote this stupid script to get through them faster. Maybe someone else can use or improve it.
Code:

#!/bin/bash
logdir="/var/log/portage/elog/"
OPTIONS="Delete Perform Skip Quit"

menu1 () {
  echo "$line"
  select opt in $OPTIONS; do
    if [ "$opt" = "Quit" ]; then
     clear
     echo "done"
     exit
    elif [ "$opt" = "Delete" ]; then
     rm "$logdir$1"
     clear
     return
    elif [ "$opt" = "Perform" ]; then
     clear
     cat "$logdir$1"
     exit
    elif [ "$opt" = "Skip" ]; then
     clear
     return
    else
     clear
     echo "Bad Option"
    fi
  done
}

for line in $(ls $logdir); do
  cat "$logdir$line"
  menu1 $line
done


Just a note, perform doesnt actually perform anything it just quits while reprinting the log on the screen so you can see what to do.
Also, I am not a programmer in any way shape or form.

There is already a "elogviewer" somewhere in this forum. And there are several versions of that (kelogviewer, etc) also present in some thread. The search function might help.
