If you have PORT_LOGDIR set in /etc/make.conf then the output of emerge including all messages is getting logged for every package. Since a lot of output is generated for big packages like glibc (15MB), openoffice (18MB), etc. it makes sense to compress the logs and delete them after, say, a month (from cron). After bzipping the logs the size of the logdir reduced from 90MB to only 5MB. Hope that helps. Cheers, Renat -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
