Greetings, after a recent KDE upgrade among other new packages "emerge" also in- stalled "dev-qt/qtwebengine" as a new dependency. Since on my five year old laptop this package requires about 6 hours 20 minutes to build, I decided to slightly redesign my package managing script and to use bina- ry packages for long bilding dependencies I build with default USE flags anyway.
It works, but is there a way (short of using "|grep -v ...") to prevent "emerge" from spitting plenty of noisy but rather irrelevant progress messages to standard output (which it also logs to "/var/log/emerge- fetch.log")? Since I want to save the "emerge" logs and since "man e- merge" is less than helpful with respect to option "--quiet" ("Results may vary, but the general outcome is a reduced or condensed output from portage's displays.") I have yet hesitated to enable this option. Would it help at all? Would "emerge" still write logs to "/var/log/portage/ */*" and "/var/log/emerge.log"? Is there another option or "FEATURE" setting I should use? Any suggestions welcome :-) Sincerely, Rainer
