Description Klaus Kusche 2003-03-16 06:05:18 UTC
Some notes on the logs produced by emerge:
* In the past, the majority of logfiles produced by emerge have been empty.
Today, after installing portage 47-r10, *all* logfiles produced by subsequent
emerges have been empty!
* Even before, the logfiles never contained the most important information,
namely emerge's terminal messages preceeded by the color stars! I want to have
everything shown at the terminal logged.
* The filenames of the log files do not correspond to the format given in the
comment in make.conf: They start with some four-digit number (not a date)
followed by the package.
Comment 1 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-19 10:52:51 UTC
fixed in cvs

Empty files were caused by fixing persistent variables.

If it isn't part of the build it cannot be logged in the same manner.
Try looking at /var/log/emerge.log

Yes, the comment is wrong. The numbers match the counter values associated
with the package being built. 2.0.47-r11 will match counters with logs.
