Not necessarily... at least on my netbook here (running ~x86), with a very minimal make.conf and not a single line in it regarding elog, I have /var/log/portage/elog/summary.log ... which just so happens to have every important emerge generated message since 2009-10-09 (which I believe was my original start to this one's build.) So... I do believe it might be default behavior now to keep, at the least, a summary log of everything. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy
