Anyone knows how PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND is really supposed to work? I did read the documentation in /etc/make.conf and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=1 The API is not documented. I _assumed_ that the program /path/to/logprocessor reads logs from STDIN and does whatever it wants with them. I tried a program that appends what it receives from STDIN to a hard-coded file. I end up with an empty file, and emerge warns about a timeout that is not mentioned in the documentation. The timeout is in the source, but I don't know python...
Can someone clarify this? TIA Jorge Almeida
