It has come to my attention that /logs is a poor implementation for storing the log files. Is there a Gentoo specific place one could store logfiles? This ought to be something universal to Gentoo, not in the /tmp dir (gets cleaned out too often). I think perhaps /var/log/gentoo would be acceptible, or even /usr/log. However, I wasn't aware changing the root of the fs was unacceptible, I know it isn't supposed to be cluttered, but a /log directory seems to me to be a logical extension of the OS. If anyone could give me a suggestion as to where the logfiles for a Gentoo system's emerges could be stored I will make the necessary changes, also note that I have posted a message regarding my script in the forums here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=10594 Thank-you again for considering my script, suggesting fixes for it, and reviewing my other suggested additions (i.e. top on the installer, and "time" in the base system). i would say use /tmp since that is where portage dumps log files currently ... also, unless i'm wrong, since the logs you make arent really needed to be kept around for a long time so /tmp is ok This bug is quite old and the tool doesn't seem to be updated. Also we now have PORT_LOGDIR to log stuff and try to implement new tools in python instead of bash, so I close this bug. |
