It does provide some useful functionality IMHO, (and obviously in the NSHO of the designer of the logging system.) I quite _like_ to see when i first installed mplayer, what versions i had installed at certain times, how long it will take to emerge (averaged over all the times I have previously emerged it). I particularly like being able to pipe emerge -puD world into genlop -p and find out how long a whole lot of ebuilds is likely to take. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
