Hi all,
I've just kicked off an "emerge -NuD world" and will now head out for a
while. My emerge has to do, amongst others, gcc, libreoffice, Firefox &
Thunderbird. Now when I get back I'll want to know where the emerge is
up to so, in my ignorance of portage/emerge in great depth and with only
compiler output spewing up the screen, I'll fire up another terminal,
and now don't laugh, I'll do "emerge --pretend -NuD world". That will
tell me what's currently being compiled as it will be the top thingy on
the list. There has to be a better way....
Is there a way so that the terminal that the emerge is happening in can
display additional info? At the moment, I get:
/home/agl: emerge
can I get, say:
/home/agl: emerge www-client/firefox
by setting some config variable? Failing that is there a log file that
lists just what's been emerged, not a whole lot of "checking this,
checking that, compiling this file, linking that library, whoops, error
here..." sort of thing.
Any thoughts, greatly appreciated,
Andrew
