Well, I for one appreciated the article. I use postfix anyway |
| 33 |
(which provides my sendmail) and I have this in make.conf: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="info warn error log" |
| 36 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save custom" |
| 37 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND="/usr/local/bin/portage-elog-command.sh |
| 38 |
peter@mesh portage '\${PACKAGE}' '\${LOGFILE}'" |
| 39 |
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT="package \${PACKAGE} merged on \${HOST} |
| 40 |
with notice" |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I always have kmail open (Kontact) and I am enjoying seeing all the |
| 43 |
messages that emerge generates, as they happen ... something I've |
| 44 |
missed for years. |
