NAME

elogviewer − an elog viewer for Gentoo Linux

SYNOPSIS

elogviewer [−h | −−help]

DESCRIPTION

elogviewer displays elogs generated by portage(5) in a Qt graphical user interface.

Elogs summarize important messages generated by the Gentoo Linux package manager during installation and upgrades. The feature must be enabled by setting

PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save"

PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn info error log"

in make.conf(5).

See /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for more information on elogs.

The user must be in the portage group to run the program without root privilege. See groups(1).

BUGS

Due to incompatible versions, the read and important flags do not stick when switching from Python 2 to Python 3.
