I'm not sure if the logs are stored by default, but if you set
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" in make.conf, portage saves one log per
package in $PORTAGE_LOGDIR/elog. You can also have portage mail them to
you. See /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for details.

There are also tools available to view these logs more comfortably:
app-portage/elogv and app-portage/elogviewer.

Kind regards, tastytea

If you have save_summary (check spelling) in your make.conf then they
are in /var/log/portage/elog/summary.txt .

[gentoo-user] Is the "Messages for package ..." output from emerge logged somewhere?

[Grant Taylor]

Hi,

Is the "Messages for package ..." output from emerge logged somewhere?

I'd like to re-read the "Messages for package ..." output from emerge 
after the fact.  Is there a concise collection of that somewhere?  Or do 
I have to pilfer through logs of each and every package to find it?


I'm hoping that the "Messages for package ..." output that shows up at 
the end of an emerge (e.g. @system or @world) is conveniently available.
