1 Hi list,
2
3 I'm just wondering about the manner portage manages it log files.
4
5 It's a very good idea to have 2 logs for each package (one with each end
6 every line of the make output and one with the messages of the package
7 for the installer).
8
9 I'm wondering why there are these 4 digit numbers in front of the name
10 of each log file. This makes it hard to find the log for a single
11 package by name.
12
13 What about changing the logfile names to:
14 package-version.log
15 package-version.msg?
16
17 A simple ``ls'' then will show the logs in alphabetical order making it
18 easier to find a single one.
19 A ``ls -tr'' will show the logs in chronological order. To see in which
20 order the packages were built, rebuilt ..., how long did it take to
21 build a package and so on.
22
23 What you about this?
24
25 Regards
26 Frank
