Since approximately portage 2.0.47-r7 or -r8, for the last two months or so, I haven't been able to get anything except 0 byte log files in $PORT_LOGDIR. I've tried setting PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/emerge and PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage in /etc/make.conf. It had been working OK for some time right after the logging to /var/log feature was added to portage. $ ls -al /var/log/emerge total 24 drwsrws--- 2 root portage 16384 Apr 30 14:22 . drwxr-x--x 6 root root 8192 Apr 30 12:12 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 27 13:52 011-gtkglarea-1.99.0.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 27 13:53 2013-pygtk-1.99.16.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 27 13:57 2015-gimp-1.3.14.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 27 15:37 2017-gimp-1.3.14.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 28 12:50 2020-baselayout-1.8.5.9.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 28 12:50 2022-baselayout-1.8.5.8.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 28 12:50 2023-gentoolkit-0.1.21.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 28 12:50 2025-gentoolkit-0.1.20.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 28 15:27 2026-baselayout-1.8.5.9.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 28 23:05 2028-doomlegacy-1.40-r1.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 29 14:52 2032-gentoolkit-0.1.21-r1.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 29 14:52 2034-gentoolkit-0.1.21.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 29 14:52 2035-gal-0.24.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 29 15:01 2037-gal-0.23.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 30 12:10 2039-gentoolkit-0.1.21-r2.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 30 12:10 2041-gentoolkit-0.1.21-r1.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 30 12:14 2042-gentoolkit-0.1.21-r2.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 30 12:54 2044-gal-0.24.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 0 Apr 30 14:22 2046-gal-0.24.log Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor GENTOO_MIRRORS=" ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.11/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.7/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config /opt/quake3/cpma/server.cfg" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss arts avi encode libg++ mikmod nls xml2 xmms gdbm berkdb tetex java guile mysql sdl libwww python oggvorbis gtk qt cdr 3dfx 3dnow apm crypt dga esd gif imlib jpeg mbox mmx mozilla moznomail moznoirc moznocompose mpeg ncurses opengl pam pdflib perl png quicktime readline samba slang spell ssl svga tiff truetype voodoo3 X xv zlib -cups -dvd -gpm -gnome -kde -ldap -motif -sasl -tcpd" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage/" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
I believe this was fixed. Carpaski should be able to confirm.

It's fixed in later releases of 47, and all of 48. 47-r10 is broken. 48_pre6 comes out ~arch very shortly.
