Hello, One thing I often need to remember to do on the systems I maintain is to clean old /var/log/portage/*.log files from time to time as, otherwise, they will progressively grow a lot along time. Personally, I always set: PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save_summary" Because I am (only) interested on simply reviewing summary.log after udpating the systems. However, I cannot find a way to only save that summary.log without also saving all the other full logs. Maybe a variant could be added... or "save_summary" could be changed to have: save -> for saving the full logs summary -> for saving only the summary And people wanting both would set "save summary" (both keys). Thanks a lot
It looks like you have PORTAGE_LOGDIR (or the older PORT_LOGDIR variable) set, and that enables build logs which are entirely separate from the elog framework.
Ah, indeed, I have PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage". Probably I set it many years ago to try to specify where logs in general (also the summary.log) was going to be located
