Hi, Currently I'm using make.conf options to send mails like following : > PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="info log warn error" > PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="mail save_summary" I would love to have another ELOG_SYSTEM option (or maybe a FEATURES option), like this : > PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="mail mailprogress save_summary" Once the « mailprogress » option activated, emerge would send a mail at each package merge, showing its overall progression in title. Then in my mailbox I would have : > [portage][myhost] app-foo/bar-0.728 merged (1/17) > [portage][myhost] app-bar/foo-1.27 merged (2/17) > ... > [portage][myhost] mail-mta/postfix-3.1.0-r1 merged (17/17) In this example, 17 packages merged. This would prevent me to have to connect to [myhost] through ssh to check the overall emerge progress. Just have to check my mailbox to do it. Thanks. Reproducible: Always
We can support progress hooks for this sort of thing, similar to the existing support that we have for postsync hooks.
