Hello I am a bit tired of seen my /var/log/portage/elog/summary.log flooded of pax marking messages when updating, for example, icedtea-bin. Are that messages really useful for people not using hardened at all? Could them be downgraded to "eqa" or "einfo" for non-hardened systems? Thanks a lot :-) Reproducible: Always

However, your request isn't as simple as just adding a "if use hardened; then" because its really about a pax_kernel --- hardened refers to the toolchain, pax_kernel refers to the kernel. That's a relatively new flag and not global. Would just downgrading to einfo for everyone be sufficient?
I think so since, if I don't misremember, einfo messages aren't logged by default
Do you want me to downgrade it to "einfo" for all the cases? (would be enough for me :))

(In reply to comment #3) > Do you want me to downgrade it to "einfo" for all the cases? (would be > enough for me :)) I'll commit the following in a few days after email gentoo-dev@. I drops all elog's to einfo's. --- pax-utils.eclass.orig 2012-04-03 09:29:41.000000000 -0400 +++ pax-utils.eclass 2012-04-03 09:30:49.000000000 -0400 @@ -58,8 +58,8 @@ # Try paxctl, then scanelf. paxctl is preferred. if type -p paxctl > /dev/null && has PT ${PAX_MARKINGS}; then # Try paxctl, the upstream supported tool. - elog "PT PaX marking -${flags}" - _pax_list_files elog "$@" + einfo "PT PaX marking -${flags}" + _pax_list_files einfo "$@" for f in "$@"; do # First, try modifying the existing PAX_FLAGS header paxctl -q${flags} "${f}" && continue @@ -91,8 +91,8 @@ elif type -p scanelf > /dev/null && [[ ${PAX_MARKINGS} != "none" ]]; then # Try scanelf, the Gentoo swiss-army knife ELF utility # Currently this sets PT if it can, no option to control what it does. - elog "Fallback PaX marking -${flags}" - _pax_list_files elog "$@" + einfo "Fallback PaX marking -${flags}" + _pax_list_files einfo "$@" scanelf -Xxz ${flags} "$@" elif [[ ${PAX_MARKINGS} != "none" ]]; then # Out of options!

Nice :)
