[gentoo-portage-dev] How to make portage create /var/log/portage/ with portage:portage owners?

2011-11-01 Thread Pacho Ramos
I have user pacho under portage group to be able to make some tasks
without becoming root, but, sadly, I am unable to make portage
create /var/log/portage files/dirs with portage:portage owners instead
of portage:root, preventing me from removing old files without becoming
root.
Is there anyway to configure this?

Thanks a lot

 chown -R portage:portage /var/log/portage

 I have tried this but each time files are recreated by portage, changes
 are reset :(

 chmod g+s /var/log/portage
 + add your user to group portage

 do the trick?

chmod g+s /var/log/portage
should take care of keeping newly created files in the portage group, maybe
`find /var/log/portage -type d -exec chmod g+s {} +`
work better
