They're relevant to portage stable; down the line it'll likely be |
12 |
mtime based. |

Right now that 4 digit number is an internal incrementing counter |
14 |
that's tagged into the log file name. |

Doesn't work that way, and what you're after (restating your |
21 |
'installer' as enotice/ewarn/einfo) is elog, something that'll be in |
22 |
the next major version. |

You're seeing two logs due to the fact you have FEATURES="buildpkg" |
25 |
on; effectively, portage build's the binpkg (log 1), then merges it |
26 |
(log 2). This is inneficient though, since it builds up one $IMAGE |
27 |
dir, binpkg's it, then dumps it to another dir and installs from that. |

That's an old annoyance that should die a miserable death soon enough. |
