Here is some feedback then.  I liked it the way it was.  When a build
fails, I do a one of install of that package and I like to see the
output.  Why, because sometimes it gives me a hint as to why it failed
or something I can google for.
If it fails you get tail of build.log, so you see it anyway.


That doesn't always go back far enough tho. I have on my new rig seen the failure be as far back as a couple hundred lines. There are a number of times that I have had to use the Find function to even find the original failure because it is so far back. I have even set Konsole to have unlimited history. Unless it is going to tail -n 500 or more, that may not go back far enough. This is the age of multiple cores and enough ram to use tmpfs. I have both. 4 cores and 16Gbs of ram.

MAKEOPTS="-j10"
tmpfs on /var/tmp/portage type tmpfs (rw,noatime)

The MAKEOPTS is increasing.  I'm looking for that sweet spot.  ;-)
