Description Michael Postmann 2004-10-29 02:05:24 UTC
The normal way is:
emerge sync
emerge -ua world
# GO AND DRINK SOME BEER #

Finished!

And in the meanwhile lot's of packages get updated producing lot's of ebuild-messages (the ewarn and einfo stuff displayd after and befor an emerge which says to revdep-rebuild some stuff or that some use-flags might cause troubles etc.)

But as the scrollback-buffer of a terminal is limited and I don't want to scroll back through the whole compiling-stuff it would be nice if one could display a summary of all these messages.

Maybe the messages get saved to a temporary-file during the ebuild-process and it is displayed using a pager at the end of the emerge. (only when an command-line-arg is set, so you could still use emerge in scripts)

How about that?
