Why, could the dev add an option that parses out all of those

Do you mean like the elog system that can write this information to a
separate log file, email it to you, pass it to a command or any
combination of these? There are also elog viewers in portage,
although I
have no experience of these, I use my mailer to read these messages.
I concur elog is great. I have it e-mail me a single file after I've
run updates or installed anything. It's stupid simple to setup too.
Sounds like a really useful tool, but I can't see where to get it.
According to eix, the only elog tools are direct viewers. I'd really
like one that can email me, where can I find it?
Thanks

I don't use the email feature but I got this from man make.conf:
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM
PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT
Please see /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for
elog documentation.
I would look at the make.conf.example file to see how to set that up.
