16 I'm not sure if the logs are stored by default, but if you set
17 PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" in make.conf, portage saves one log per
18 package in $PORTAGE_LOGDIR/elog. You can also have portage mail them to
19 you. See /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for details.
20
21 There are also tools available to view these logs more comfortably:
22 app-portage/elogv and app-portage/elogviewer.

24 Kind regards, tastytea
