emerge pkg 2>&1 | tail -200 >logfile
However, when doing something like: $ emerge -u --deep world Grabbing only the last few lines would only apply to the last package.
Yes, it's true, but IMHO it's quite sufficient, because normally u need to read it only in case of error, which is at the end AFAIK.
If u really like to play with such script, u can run "emerge -p world" first and then atomize it into particular pkgs.
Another way is to pipe output to grep with "-A" and/or "-B" switches, but I really don't know the pattern which should be searched :-(. If u know it ...
