All of that uses the information in /var/log/emerge.log, not the individual logs in $PORT_LOGDIR. However, just because Frank can't see a need for logging more than one install of a package, doesn't mean that others won't have a use for it. I don't think the format of the logfile name is that important, as long as it is consistent and easily parsed. I do like Frank's suggestion of different names for the two log though, which would also mean that the numbering would make more sense as both logs from a single emerge would have the same number. -- Neil Bothwick As long as you do not move you can still choose any direction.
