Re: [gentoo-accessibility] setting up orca on gnome on gentoo

[William Hubbs]

Hi Dave,

there is a much better way to capture messages from packages.  Take a
look at the PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM and PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI settings in
make.conf.

It is possible to have this information saved to a file or emailed to
you.

Thanks,

William
