I suppose, we all need more logging for emerge. Emerge must have ability to log any 'einfo' messages at least. Right now I must look at the monitor (and prees Ctrl-S) while emerging process or find through huge 'tee' logs. I wan to run 'emerge gnome' or 'emerge kde' and later read only _important_ information. Emerge must log any events/strings, except compile etc. output or (in minimal case) einfo messages. Maybe need new '/etc/make-conf' variable? How about syslog support? Right now I can't simple modify einfo source for append strings to /vat/log/emerge.log, because my portages works under sandbox. OTOH, I can send any string to syslog. It's right thing and UNIX way, to use syslog. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I ses at least 4 levels of logging: 1) Current 2) Current + einfo(n)/ewarn/eerror/esyslog messages 3) All except "build output" (compile, linking, install etc.) 4) All (tee analog)
