47 Hmmm. Yes. The problem is not so much the reading, but that the
48 pertinent text is only fleetingly on the screen. I'm quite sure I saw
49 these warnings, but their seriousness didn't impinge on my consciousness.
50 Sadly.
51
52 Are these warnings stored in a log anywhere? Looking for them in ebuilds
53 before emerging would be a bit tedious.
54
55 Or maybe it needs a script which would take the output of "emerge -puND
56 world", extract the ebuild names, and run them through "grep ewarn". Or
57 does such already exist?
