I started from an idea of nmbrthry in here

Last updated Tue Oct 10 01:16:55 JST 2006 v. 0.4.1

Abstract This program (python/pygtk) parses the elogs (portage 2.1) in a graphical environment.
Features:
    graphical elog viewer
    filters the output on demand
    button to delete elog(s)
    keyboard shortcuts


Usage: elogviewer or PORT_LOGDIR=/path/to/elogs/.. elogviewer

License: GPL2 or later

installation from the official overlay sunrise (thank you V-Li):
emerge layman
layman -f
layman -a sunrise
emerge elogviewer


"Official" site with a screenshot http://sourceforge.net/projects/elogviewer.

Wow, this is really coming together nicely. I'm glad you were able to take my idea and run with it.

thank you very much, it works perfectly here. I have some minor annoyances though
- the outer border is too wide, I want it looks like the other GNOME apps
- can you supress the error message when you're trying to tick/untick the textboxes where nothing is selected

Anyway good job. I suggest you submit this to bugzilla, request for portage inclusion.

Thank you for your feedback, maxima. I updated the code to take your suggestions into account. I would love to have that prog in the official tree!

Thank you, that was fast. I have one more suggestion, it would be nice if you could use gtk treeview or gtk expander in the viewing area. Sorry if I'm asking to much. I want to learn python myself but haven't got time to do it. I read from the other thread that you don't know python, that wasn't true right?

Thank you! I will see what I can do.

:) No, that (wa)s true. But I have experience in more difficult programming using c/c++, fortran, even some MS Visual C# (research, science), so that going for another language of the same type is not very difficult. And it is also true that I do not like GUI that much, do not use it that much and do not like to design it that much either. I like writing code, that's my fun! Although for the elogs, "less" was definitely not optimal! So I rewrote nmbrthry's prog (is not that the FOSS philosophy after all?) and pygtk is really nice and easy! The ppl who have made that are definitely good at making things effective.

Enough with my CV...

If I have time this week and feel like so, I will try using the gtk.expander.

I also submitted it to bugzilla, so maybe elogviewer will make it to app-portage! For those who want to make it the gentoo way, I have written (very fast I must say) an ebuild. Go get it from bugzy to be sure you have the latest version https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136496

But thank you for your support maxima, I really appreciate.

I've just noticed the delete function doesn't work even it's run as root. And the log files have a permission 644 owned by root, is there any way to change the default permission ?

@maxima, it works here, if you downloaded the update yesterday, I had made a mistake and uploaded a "debug" version where I print the filename at the console instead of deleting it, although it should not have been hosted very long. Is it what is happening (is thefilename printed at the console?) in which case getting the file from the forum here should solve it. If not, I need more info...

It is also becoming complicated to update on my computer, the forum link and bugzilla, you seem more familiar than me about all these things, do you know of a simpler way of updating/sharing the source? I am not sure opening a sourceforge or similar account is really worth it, but I don't know... And my computer is a laptop so I cannot share the files from here via subversion or ftp or whatever.

oh I downloaded it from bugzilla, ok I'll try the one from here but I can't test it now my log is empty. And yes the one I have prints the filename to the console.

about the sharing I'm not too sure either, I think you can just put a link in the bugzilla & forum and make the link point to the parent where you store all the tarballs. So you don't have to upload everytime you're making a new release.

[EDIT]Nuts. When will I learn patience? If I'd've just waited for the ebuild to finish, I'd've seen the solution. SORRY![/EDIT]

I'm having a problem where my portage seems not to create the elog subidir of the directory in the PORT_LOGDIR variable. I fiddled with the elogviewer code to make it work, but I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong?

Relevant make.conf section (I made elogviewer just take the PORT_LOGDIR variable as is, rather than trying to change to the elog subdir):

Code:

PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage/elog
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error info log"
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save"


make.conf.example has this to say:
Code:

# PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM: selects the module(s) to process the log messages. Modules
#                      included in portage are (empty means logging is disabled):
#                          save (saves one log per package in $PORT_LOGDIR/elog,
#                                /var/log/portage/elog if $PORT_LOGDIR is unset)

Which is certainly not how things are going. I get all the log files in the PORT_LOGDIR directory.

Hi all, nice work synss.

I ported your app to PyKDE for those who can't use gtk in their kde environment. I am looking for some web space to put the file in for now, synss maybe you can host it on your website ?

Edit : Ok i found something, you can get it at Kelogviewer

This URL gives me 403...

synss: good app, but:
- you are missing "prerm" and "postrm" phases, they need to be added to class Filter: filter = { ... } (those were not elogged in earlier 2.1 versions by mistake but it's fixed now)
- after deleting last log it gives some exception (not fatal :)
- I would like a keyboard shortcut (Del would be great :) for deleting log, clicking mouse is bothering me :)

Keep up the good work!

Yes, that provider is crap ... and i managed to screw things with their "admin interface" were deleted files are style listed but no more accessible so i cannot even re-create an "index.php".

So i've wisely chosen to drop them for something with an ftp access.

You can get it there : http://jeremywick.phpnet.us/kelogviewer.tgz

Jeremy_Z: nice you also make it kde-friendly.

If somebody is interested in programming, it would probably be very helpful for people without X/on ssh, to have an ncurse version too. I have kept all GUI-related stuff separated from the rest, so it should not be a major effort to anyone knowing a bit of ncurses.

TehCaster: "prerm" and "postrm" phases are added on the version linked from the top of the forum + the archive fetched by the ebuild.

"after deleting last log it gives some exception" i found that too, I though I had gotten rid of it, though... but it is still there. Pain.
"I would like a keyboard shortcut..." me too :)



Anyway, the program will be on standby for a couple of months as I am going on voluntary unemployement. I do need holidays! I have no idea how much time I'll spend on my computer during that time and what access to the internet I'll have. Probably not much :D (makes me happy, there are other things in life almost as enjoyable as python)

Back here, i put the so wished for shortcut :D and corrected some details. I do not have much time to spend on it neither, but i might take a look on ncurses because i never used it in dev before (well just like python or QT, so why not).

FWIW I wrote a CLI-based tool for this ages ago -- http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/scripts/eread -- maybe some of you can use it.

I am bit confused as to which type of log file (k)elogviewer is processing. If I set my logging options like this:
Code:

PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log"
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="syslog save"
PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage"

I get a whole mass of files in "/var/log/portage" which look like this:

    >>> Unpacking source...
    >>> Unpacking portage-2.1.1_pre4.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2/work
    >>> Unpacking portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2.patch.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2/work
    * Applying portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2.patch ...
    [ ok ]
    * Setting portage.VERSION to 2.1.1_pre4-r2 ...
    [ ok ]
    >>> Source unpacked.
    >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2/work/portage-2.1.1_pre4 ...
    >>> Source compiled.
    >>> Test phase [not enabled]: sys-apps/portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2

    >>> Install portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2 into /var/tmp/portage/portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2/image/ category sys-apps
    patching file make.conf
    >>> Completed installing portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2 into /var/tmp/portage/portage-2.1.1_pre4-r2/image/

    * For help with using portage please consult the Gentoo Handbook
    * at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3
    *

and three files in "/var/log/portage/elog" which look like this:

If I set
Code:
PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage/elog"

all the files go there but elogviewer ignores them because they don't have the correct header. So what is supposed to be going on?! I am currently running portage-2.1.1_pre4-r4.

it only deals with the ones you have put under
