Hmmm. Yes. The problem is not so much the reading, but that the pertinent text is only fleetingly on the screen. I'm quite sure I saw these warnings, but their seriousness didn't impinge on my consciousness. Sadly. Are these warnings stored in a log anywhere? Looking for them in ebuilds before emerging would be a bit tedious. Or maybe it needs a script which would take the output of "emerge -puND world", extract the ebuild names, and run them through "grep ewarn". Or does such already exist? > -- > #163933 -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
