[gentoo-portage-dev] Per-package emerge log behaviour

[Igor V. Rafienko]

Hi,


Recently I have noticed that one can tell portage to produce per-package
emerge logs (which is _very_ nice). However, after poking around a bit, it
looks like the format of the individual logfiles is hammered. Maybe I am
simply not looking in the right places, but I was wondering whether it
would be possible to offer some formatting options.

E.g. I would like such per-package logfiles to include a timestamp (in a
human-friendly format, say, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM), and the sorting[1] to occur
first by date, then by package and then some sort of unique identifier[2]
to break off the ties. This way it would be pretty easy to look for
interesting messages from a bulk of emerges from a specific timepoint.

Any thoughts on this?

TIA,

    :)
[2] I presume that:

mysettings["LOG_COUNTER"]=str(db[myroot]["vartree"].dbapi.get_counter_tick_core("/"))

... does just that -- creates a unique identifier for the logs.
