Description Triffid Hunter 2005-07-06 06:33:43 UTC

many packages display critical information as warnings at the end of their 
merge.

When emerging a large number of packages (eg; emerge -avtDNul world), it is very 
easy to miss these crucial pieces of information.

It would be nice if emerge re-displayed all warnings etc at the end of emerging 
all packages, so that once a large merge is completed, all the warnings are 
still visible.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. wait a few weeks
2. emerge --sync && emerge -avtDNul world
3. miss some critical info, system breakage

Actual Results:  
often system breakage due to missing critical warnings

Expected Results:  
re-displayed all warnings for all merged packages at end of emerge, with each 
warning clearly displaying which package it belongs to
