Description slynn@granite-mtn.net 2005-06-15 18:28:42 UTC

During the recent OpenLDAP 2.2 upgrade (from 2.1) I missed the post install
(src_install) function ewarn messages.  The reason I missed the warnings was
that they were buried within my 20+ package emerge world output.  This got me
thinking (and searching through man emerge)...

It would be very helpful for system maintenance for post install directions and
warning to be queued up during large emerge operations and printed out at the end.

As an example, say emerge world brought up 100 packages to upgrade and 10 of
those had warnings or post-install install instructions.  With the queuing
system emerge would "save off" all the warnings and instructions and print them
out (prefixed by the ebuild name) at the end of the emerge world process.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.
