Well yes, but emerge.log just says what was done, it doesn't record all the |
| 9 |
notes, warnings, special instructions, etc. which were put into the package |
| 10 |
by the gentoo devs and output using ewarn and einfo. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This is not rocket science. e.g., in /etc/init.d/functions.sh, add the |
| 13 |
following to the definitions of einfo and ewarn: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
if [ "${RC_DOC_FD3}" = "yes" ]; then |
| 16 |
echo -e " ${GOOD}*${NORMAL} ${*}" >&3 |
| 17 |
fi |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then run |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
# export RC_DOC_FD3=yes |
| 22 |
# emerge blah 3> /tmp/foo |
| 23 |
# less /tmp/foo |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This could be spruced up a bit so that each ebuild declared itself to fd 3 |
| 26 |
so as to identify each section of comments in the output, but this shouldn't |
| 27 |
be difficult. One would have to remember to always redirect to fd 3 to |
| 28 |
avoid "bad file descriptor messages", but with a little effort this could be |
| 29 |
supressed, I'd guess. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Actually, this is so obvious that I think I'll just do it :-) |
