If you compile multiple programs/updates at a time, post-compile messages are lost to the console history, especially if you have AUTOCLEAN set to yes. Since most comments seem to have a green asterisk next to it, can portage just scan the output for these (e.g. w/grep) and then shunt them to a temp file that is read back after emerging all packages? EXAMPLE: After installing update of gpg, I get this output... ... >>> /usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.2.1-r1/txt/ >>> /usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.2.1-r1/txt/faq.raw.gz --- /usr/libexec/ --- /usr/libexec/gnupg/ >>> /usr/libexec/gnupg/gpgkeys_mailto * gpg is installed SUID root to make use of protected memory space * This is needed in order to have a secure place to store your passphrases, * etc. at runtime but may make some sysadmins nervous >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... >>> app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.1-r1 merged. app-crypt/gnupg selected: 1.2.1 protected: 1.2.1-r1 omitted: none >>> Packages in red are slated for removal. >>> Packages in green will not be removed. >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.1... No package files given... Grabbing a set. --- !mtime obj /usr/share/man/man7/gnupg.7.gz --- !mtime obj /usr/share/man/man1/gpgv.1.gz ... And I lose the possibly important message given just before >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
