elogv is a very cool tool to look for problems after an upgrade. However, once it is started it does not auto-update while a large portage update is concurrently running. That would be a very nice feature to use, versus manually parsing log file during a large update. Several ways this could could. elogv could auto scan to see if a portage update (compiling phase) is running. If so every minute or so, it could reload the recently completed installation log files ( as simple refresh). I guess what I'm after is an ablity to watch the logs, live, while an update is occuring. There may exist a better tool for this, but, I really like elogv. James
Hello James, not much development is going on with elogv these days: it's in maintenance mode I would say. It is written in Python and hosted on GitHub if you would like to hack on it yourself: https://github.com/gentoo/elogv . For the re-loading feature it should be ensured that auto-reload and user interaction do not mix in unexpected ways, e.g. the user hitting delete on a different message than intended. inotify comes to my mind, too. Best, Sebastian
OK, You can close the bug. I'll be some time getting around to it. thx, James
