"emerge gcc" would be easy to add. Not a priority for me atm. Is it really |
| 7 |
so hard to type "emerge sys-devel/gcc"? |

There is a command called "script" that can be used to log everything that |
| 17 |
happens on the console. This logging issue comes up periodically, and |
| 18 |
personally, I think it's easier to use our already existing command. Type "man |
| 19 |
script". Basically, "script" gives you a new shell where everything is logged |
| 20 |
to a typescript file. When you exit the new shell, scripting is turned off. |
| 21 |
The disadvantage of this approach is that scripting does not happen on a |
| 22 |
per-package basis. But I haven't seen any Gentoo Linux developers actually |
| 23 |
requesting enhanced logging capabilities. So again, not a high priority. |
