As a previous sorcery user I miss the ability to find a bzipped log file of everything that was on the screen when compiling and installing. The logfile in /tmp is not good because: * it is not bzipped (and therefore not suitable for storing/including for bugreports) * it does not include everything sent to the screen (some output that is sent to the display is not logged)
I'm working on it... Doesn't bzip2 anything (yet). Misses a few things still. Bug reports and Functionality requests are welcome. (Post them here.) --emptytree DOES NOT play well with my code. It updates portage, and causes mis-matched code... I should have this remedied in the near-future. Current code can be found at: http://gentoo.twobit.net/scripts/portage/threaded/ ALWAYS emerge the version of portage that matches the version of my code first. i.e.: portage.py-2.0.9-nj and emerge-2.0.9-nj emerge \=portage-2.0.9 THEN follow the directions.

portage-2.0.47_pre4 and later have PORT_LOGDIR which keeps individual logs of everything. Thye aren't bzip2'd, but this is a close as it'll come. Besides... The logs won't get very big anyway. ~1400 packages is only 150M on my box.
