Bug 273099 – [PATCH] Portage should allow a setting to split logs per category

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-06-07 20:10:30 UTC]

This is something that somehow exists already in the form of a patch from Zac which I've been using up to now on the tinderbox.

Right now the logs are created as files in

$PORT_LOGDIR/$CATEGORY:$PF:$TIMESTAMP.log

but they should optionally be created as

$PORT_LOGDIR/$CATEGORY/$PF:$TIMESTAMP.log

creating one directory per category; without this it's not untold that the amount of files in the directory can go over 10K and make it a tedious task to attach log files with Firefox.

Thanks,
Diego

put log files in category directories (todo: make it conditional on a FEATURES setting)

What about introducing a new PORTAGE_ELOG_* variable. Like PORTAGE_ELOG_FLAT={0,1}.

Introduce FEATURES split-log and split-elog to use a category directory for logs instead of putting them all in one directory
