Description Klaus Kusche 2003-03-16 06:05:18 UTC

Some notes on the logs produced by emerge:
* In the past, the majority of logfiles produced by emerge have been empty.
Today, after installing portage 47-r10, *all* logfiles produced by subsequent
emerges have been empty!
* Even before, the logfiles never contained the most important information,
namely emerge's terminal messages preceeded by the color stars! I want to have
everything shown at the terminal logged.
* The filenames of the log files do not correspond to the format given in the
comment in make.conf: They start with some four-digit number (not a date)
followed by the package.

fixed in cvs

Empty files were caused by fixing persistent variables.

If it isn't part of the build it cannot be logged in the same manner.
Try looking at /var/log/emerge.log

Yes, the comment is wrong. The numbers match the counter values associated
with the package being built. 2.0.47-r11 will match counters with logs.
