I think my set up is pretty vanilla: at the end of an emerge -uDv world I get a concatenated list of all the elog comments. Unless I shut down the terminal/console I cannot avoid but scrolling upwards to see what's asked of me by the package maintainers following the emerge. Isn't this enough for your needs? Sure, if I have a major breakage I will start looking through /var/log/portage/<package_name> to see what went wrong in detail, otherwise I follow the invariably trivial recommendations at the end of the emerge. -- Regards, Mick
