Description Wayne Davison 2003-05-17 03:20:07 UTC
I've created a simple patch for the util-linux ebuild that improves the
"script" command, enabling it to run an arbitrary command rather than
just an interactive shell.  This improved command could then be used in
portage to make the per-ebuild logging work better.

The maintainer of the util-linux package has indicated that he likes the
idea and is planning to include it in the next release, so I think it
would be nice to get the functionality incorporated into the 2.11z ebuild
so that we can begin to use it.

I'll attach a patch for the ebuild file and the patch that implements the
new feature.
