This is a specific request for infra. We need it so that we can safely call python-updater from cfengine, without being massively spammed. We have a small script 'filteremerge' that we call in PLACE in of emerge. It performs logging of the normal emerge output and sending a subset of the output to stdout for emailing by cfengine. Could you please include this patch in the Portage tree ASAP.
