It took me queite some time to figure out: When I tried to run elogviewer it showed the following errormessage: You need to enable the elog feature by setting at least one of PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="info warn error log" and PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" in /etc/make.conf Read /etc/make.conf.example for more information I checked my make.conf several times and re-organized it because I thought the check-function that parses my make.conf is broken or something. /var/log/portage/elog had all elogs just as I configured it. Then I realized that the elogs directory rights are set to xx0, so only people in the group 'portage' can read the elogs. A postinstall message or different errormessage of elogviewer would save other people who are as silly as me some time. Reproducible: Always
I suggest: You need to enable the elog feature by setting at least one of PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="info warn error log" and PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" in /etc/make.conf and make sure that your user is in the 'portage' group. Read /etc/make.conf.example for more information
Corrected in 0.6.1.
