That looked interesting, so I tried it. I got the following from "cat /var/log/emerge.log | ccze -C | tail" (sorry about the line wraps, which for some reason I can't switch off at the moment in kmail). Not only did it not convert the timestamps; it overwrote my command. I did get colours though. 1306665698: *** exiting unsuccessfully with status 'None'. g/emerge.log | ccze -C | tail 1306665698: *** terminating. 1306675942: Started emerge on: May 29, 2011 14:32:22 1306675942: *** emerge --jobs --buildpkg --keep-going --verbose --nospinner --with-bdeps --ask ccze 1306675947: >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-admin/ccze-0.2.1-r2 to / 1306675947: === (1 of 1) Cleaning (app-admin/ccze-0.2.1- r2::/usr/portage/app-admin/ccze/ccze-0. 2.1-r2.ebuild) 1306675952: === (1 of 1) Compiling/Packaging (app-admin/ccze-0.2.1- r2::/usr/portage/app-admin/c cze/ccze-0.2.1-r2.ebuild) 1306675965: === (1 of 1) Merging (app-admin/ccze-0.2.1- r2::/usr/portage/app-admin/ccze/ccze-0.2 .1-r2.ebuild) 1306675968: >>> AUTOCLEAN: app-admin/ccze:0 1306675969: === (1 of 1) Updating world file (app-admin/ccze-0.2.1-r2) 1306675969: === (1 of 1) Post-Build Cleaning (app-admin/ccze-0.2.1- r2::/usr/portage/app-admin/c cze/ccze-0.2.1-r2.ebuild) 1306675969: ::: completed emerge (1 of 1) app-admin/ccze-0.2.1-r2 to / 1306675969: *** Finished.
