I propose that a feature is added to portage that all information that is usually output after package has been emerged, should be emitted after all packages in a emerge list have been emerged. e.g. when i say 'emerge kde' it will pull out a list of kdenetwork, kdelibs et cetera. sometimes it prints crucial information after one or another package is merged, but since the install is mostly unattended those are gone unnoticed. what portage should do is defer output of post-install information until all packages in a list are emerged and then output them in a bunch like Package: kdelibs * WARNING: this or that Package: kdenetwork * NOTICE: that or something else etc... This way it'll be easier to track what has changed dramatically and what to watch out for. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Well, probably /var/log/emerge.log should do. But for the sake of clarity and n00bs out there... At least print "See /var/log/emerge.log" after long-long-long emerges.
