Description Ole Tange 2002-07-04 17:41:09 UTC

As a previous sorcery user I miss the ability to find a bzipped log file of 
everything that was on the screen when compiling and installing.

The logfile in /tmp is not good because:

* it is not bzipped (and therefore not suitable for storing/including for 
bugreports)
* it does not include everything sent to the screen (some output that is sent to 
the display is not logged)

I'm working on it...
Doesn't bzip2 anything (yet).
Misses a few things still.

Bug reports and Functionality requests are welcome. (Post them here.)

--emptytree DOES NOT play well with my code. It updates portage, and causes
mis-matched code... I should have this remedied in the near-future.

Current code can be found at:
http://gentoo.twobit.net/scripts/portage/threaded/

ALWAYS emerge the version of portage that matches the version of my code first.
i.e.: portage.py-2.0.9-nj and emerge-2.0.9-nj
emerge \=portage-2.0.9
THEN follow the directions.

portage-2.0.47_pre4 and later
have PORT_LOGDIR
which keeps individual logs of everything.
Thye aren't bzip2'd, but this is a close as it'll come.
Besides... The logs won't get very big anyway.
~1400 packages is only 150M on my box.
