Description Ben Davis 2005-04-02 13:22:07 UTC
When I emerge something that has many dependancies, I never see the important messages related to those dependancies.  For instance, when I emerge samba-3.0.10, which has perl-5.8.5 as a dependancy. When perl is done emerging it gives a warning that I need to run a script somewhere,  but it soon disappeared when the next ebuild started, and I was never able to see it.  There should be a better way of displaying important messages to a user when an ebuild is finished, so that none are missed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge something with dependancies that have important messages
Actual Results:  
the important messages are lost when the next ebuild starts

Expected Results:  
the important messages for all ebuilds should be displayed after the final
ebuild finishes.
