Please read up on the ELOG functionaliy (/etc/make.conf.example has notes on this) introduced in portage 2.1 (which is now stable for everyone) I have such an excellent idea - you will read /etc/make.conf.example and use ELOG features. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 11359 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 11359 *** Thank you for the info Allen. No thank you for the sarcasm Jakub. My request stands though... it should be enabled by default, not off by default (which it is since PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND is unset by default). A line or two in the .example telling people what 'elog' is might also help... I read those lines, but they meant nothing to me so I skipped them. Perhaps: # The ELOG settings tell the system what to do with emerge notifications and # warnings other than simply printing them to the console. It is recommended # that you enable logging (PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save"). There has to be at least a minimum of explanation within the file, or how will people know that it's a feature they want to learn about? The letters 'elog' are not in the manfile for portage or make.conf... without a way for users to look something up, I think the sarcasm is unwarrented. Myrddin |
