How does one catch the important messages from portage at the end of emerge operations -- withOUT all the build information messages?
I saw this question the other day - but without a satisfactory answer.
Try this: emerge pkg 2>&1 | tail -200 >logfile
Thanks for the idea... Better than 'tee'ing everything. But would seem only to apply to emerging packages individually -- e.g. put this inside a loop over all packages.
However, when doing something like: $ emerge -u --deep world Grabbing only the last few lines would only apply to the last package.
Perhaps the solution is to write a short script to parse initial package list (e.g. from 'pretend' output), then install the packages one by one. However, seems this could introduce errors in dependencies, which are a key motivation behind letting emerge do the 'multi package' work.
Since there doesn't seem to be an obvious answer, perhaps this could be a suggestion for future emerge feature? Hmm pardon my ignorance, but where/to whom is it appropriate to make such a suggestion?
