This is already possible with portage-2.1_pre3-r1. You can have the elog, ewarn, einfo etc. message saved to a file, mailed to you or passed to a custom program. See the PORTAGE_ELOG* settings in /etc/make.conf.example. For earlier versions of portage, you'll have to set PORT_LOGDIR, and create the directory. Then all emerge output is logged to here, two files per emerge. One file contains all the compiler output et al, the other contains the warnings and messages you want. -- Neil Bothwick Ultimate memory manager; Windows, it manages to use it all..
