[gentoo-dev] logging in portage

[Rufiao Valhacouto]

In the process of creating a build server (a server which is capable of
building all the packages in the portage tree to test if a given profile
is broken, and maybe providing binary packages for people who desire
them) I've found it was required to have portage to be able to log the
[per package] ebuild output into a file (more likely in the /var/db/pkg/
tree), so that it could be analyzed later. In fact, this behavior is
desirable generically, since it's sometimes useful to understand what
happened in the building process of a given package. Is this
functionality being planned for portage? Do you see any drawbacks to
include it in the mainstream code?
