I am interested in finding a GUI interface for working with portage, preferably 
for KDE4.
Namely b/c I am getting a little tired of having konsole windows open and not 
being able to keep track of where I am in the emerge update process - something 
a GUI _ought_ to be able to resolve.

In googling, I noticed Kuroo, but it's no longer maintained (nearly 2 years out 
of date now, so it would have to have been KDE3) so it's been understandably 
removed from mainline portage - though I also noticed information on a Kuroo 
overlay.

And I also came across Porthole; however, all versions are marked 
Unstable/Testing (~) at the moment.

Can anyone give some advice on these or others?

In the case that there is not a GUI tool, why not run as root # tail -f
/var/log/emerge.log

It tells you what is being installed at present

Another, to see what you are downloading is # tail -f
/var/log/emerge-fetch.log

Good Luck :)


Another good tool is genlop. Just type in genlop -c and it will tell you what is emerging, what number the package is and the estimated times as well. What number the package is looks something like this: emerging #4 of 8 packages. That tells you it is on package 4 out of 8 that will be emerged. The estimated time only works if the package has been emerged at least once before.

Sorry, it is command line. It appears you have already discovered about everything else. lol
