Description Miguel Sousa Filipe 2002-12-17 23:03:58 UTC
Logging capabilities for portage.

Basically.. it would be creating a infrastructure so that every ebuild while
being "emerged" would be recorded/logger .. so that in the case of failure it
would leave a record/log with hopefully explicit information about the ocurred
problem.

This could lead to faster bug-fixing if the users would be encouraged to post
bugs with attached log's ..providing better/standart bug reports..

The idea is a log file per ebuild since that keeps things more separated.

also.. if the emerge is sucessefull.. the log could be erased, so that it
wouldn't take up space.

About the log file .. the format would be left for the developers to use some
that fits their needs.. but something like the output of a emerge I think is
ok..allthough it might be a litle too "space intrusive"/big.

thanks for the great work.
Miguel
