Description Matt Haley 2004-03-24 19:00:55 UTC
There are many times when during an emerge of multiple packages, important information is produced but scrolls by too quickly to read. Attached is a patch to /sbin/functions.sh that will allow you to save (only) the einfo messages to a file of your choice.

Usage:

SAVE_EINFO=/tmp/einfo.log emerge somepackage


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge somepackages
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
einfo messages scrolled by too quickly

Expected Results:  
Saved messages to a file.
