Using portage hooks, either globally in /etc/portage/bashrc or per
package in /etc/portage/package.env. I have this in bashrc to warn me of
failures
register_die_hook ebuild_failed
ebuild_failed {
do something foreboding
}
I actually have it send an alert to my phone with Posterous but you can
do whatever you want.
I also use package.env to alert me when particularly
time-consuming ebuilds, like LibreOffice and Chromium, have completed
successfully.
