emerge detailed information

[xtlosx]

hey guys, i'm doing a senior project monitoring the build times with emerge using distcc vs. non using distcc and what not, and i want to know how long it takes to do each package, or stage or whatever, i will use snmp so that will give me an idea, but it'd be good to know another way, it doesn't look like the emerge.log in /var/log keeps a timestamp, is there any other way to get a more detailed log format out of emerge?

Hey,

The number at the beginning of every line in emerge.log is the date/time in UNIX epoch time format. Google that if you want info on converting to human-readable time.

To get what you're looking for, though, emerge genlop. It's an outstanding emerge log analyzer that can answer your questions. For instance:
