PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES=warn error info log PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM=mail save PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI=r...@localhost /usr/sbin/sendmail PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM=port...@localhost in make.conf not only stores the stuff for elogv - it also sends a mail to root, for extra 'do not miss it'. without mail and the later two lines it just stores the warnings and einfos. have a look at make.conf.example. Also read manpages. Or use google.

One might think that the xorg-server ebuild should know that xf86-input-* needs to be rebuilt as well, but it doesn't seem to work that way. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! TONY RANDALL!
