OK, I know you've posted this a couple times with no reply so far. I've |
| 10 |
been hoping someone with a bit better info than I would step forward, but |
| 11 |
no one has... |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I have a local hacked together solution for some of my admin mail, |
| 14 |
bypassing the Internet, simply using a script to dump it in a local |
| 15 |
maildir folder I have kmail set to check (the script puts it in proper |
| 16 |
maildir format). I have it working for cron, and did a bit of work to |
| 17 |
get it working for something else (IDR what), but do NOT use it for |
| 18 |
portage, as I have its logging setup differently (logging to a local dir |
| 19 |
and with the summary at the end, which is what I mainly use). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I just thought it ridiculous that I had to run a full local mail setup |
| 22 |
and/or send the mail round trip to my ISP and back (it's admin mail, |
| 23 |
better it's not sent via unencrypted Internet mail at all!), just to |
| 24 |
arrange for a local application to have something appear in kmail, when |
| 25 |
kmail can be set to check a local maildir, so I setup a script that made |
| 26 |
it happen! |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Anyway, if you are up for a bit of hacking and know bash, working |
| 29 |
together and starting from what I already have, we can almost certainly |
| 30 |
get it working for portage as well. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Or simply do what I did and setup the logging so portage produces a |
| 33 |
summary at the end, and logs messages to a local dir as well, in case |
| 34 |
they are needed for reference after the end-summary is gone. I should be |
| 35 |
able to help with that as well, if it'll do what you need. |
