Also: DO configure Portage to email its elog messages to you, so that there's no chance of you failing to read any one of them. I prefer to process each one before closing the tmux session in which I'm performing the emerge. $ grep -i mail /etc/make.conf PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save mail" PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root" PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM="portage@hostname" $ Stroller.
